“How is this any different from Nancy Pelosi’s “deem and pass” gambit in 2010?”

“More importantly, how are we supposed to support a party and candidate who demonstrate such utter contempt for their voters?”
I don’t.
“If anyone has an answer, please let me know because I can’t support a party or candidate for whom this kind of behavior is acceptable.”
