I get the feeling the Republican Senators that voted yes didn't understand how that monstrosity would be perceived. Now the lower House can come out smelling like a rose by urging victory - the Senators can rally around and save face.

Yep and there are a lot of representatives out there who would love to become senators come next election. They should be quacking in their boots.
