OK, you know, they have different things.

I think Tillis wanted to give the slush fund something else.

And Cassidy had specific rules around it.

Whatever.

Doesn't matter.

Like they had their own amendments.

They voted for theirs so they can say, hey, I voted to stop the slush fund.

But on the one amendment that had the chance to pass that needed four Republicans to vote with Chuck Schumer and the Democrats on it, they both let the three vulnerable senators vote with the Democrats and they voted to protect the slush fund.

So the slush fund goes forward.

Why would they do that?

I think that because it's a country club and Bill Cassidy might be mad at Donald Trump, but he doesn't want John Husted to be mad at him.

He doesn't want his boy Dan Sullivan to be mad at him.

And Susan Collins, who wants to give them a little gift.

And so he let them do it.

You know, he rationalized power of rationalization.

It's so pathetic, though.

One of those guys with the three could have killed it.

They could have, you know, is going to, you know, codify whatever the rule is into legislation that the slush fund is over.

And so now it's still like in the courts.

And who knows, maybe next year Trump reanimates it.
