The reasons as I understand it that the 13 voted no on the bill are simple. First - the House already passed the SAVE act. It is sitting in the Senate thanks to Schumer. He won't bring it to the floor. The dems are to blame on this.

Second - adding to to the CR was always a beyond-stupid idea. The dems are begging the reps to try this. They know that Schumer won't allow a vote and the reps will shut the govt down - right before the election. Then - just like EVERY OTHER TIME - the reps will be hammered by the dems for not funding parks, vets, social security, and everything else. There will be interviews outside of VA hospitals with dem vets trying to get their meds and being locked out. Dem military will be bitching they won't be able to live if they aren't paid. They will show the Vietnam Veterans and the Lincoln memorials chained up because the govt is shut down. They will ALL blame the reps and Trump. This happens every time - it is not fiction.

Third - it wouldn't do anything for this election now anyway. It is too late to implement anything now. Like I said - reps passed this months ago. The dems shelved it.

I believe they are going to push for a CR that expires the end of December. Then they can do whatever they want - post-election. If the reps lose the election they can just shut everything down for a month. If they win the house and senate - and POTUS - they can just wait, and put a new bill through both chambers and have it signed by Trump (assuming we have a RINO-proof Senate).

What we really don't want is a CR that goes on for yet another year - running on Pelosi's budget from a few years ago with pork added on.

I would LOVE a shutdown, but not at the expense of losing this election because of all the normies being scared they won't get their bennies. We need to get thru this election with wins on all fronts. Then Trump can start the deportations - which will be more important than the SAVE act immediately, and once Trump gets his "first day" stuff moving they can work on good legislation.
