Members have done that since the beginning of time, Snow on Pine. That’s why you have voice votes. That and to save time. Roll call votes take a long time. Particularly in the House. And this is not a situation where you want to take a long time, for multiple reasons.

What?……..

I think she just made those numbers up, as a cheap way to try to get people to work on the problem.
You can’t just pull numbers out of the air.

Please don’t give us numbers without the proper facts to back them up, doctor.

If Joe is discarded, is it only Bernie who’s waiting in the wings? Or are there other campaigns which are dormant but still technically alive?

Voice votes are bogus.

He’s a libertarian and very deficit-conscious so it’s consistent with his past statements and actions.
