There won’t be a vote if Pelosi doesn’t have the votes. No Speaker would risk putting his/her members having to take a tough vote without knowing the outcome.

As long as there is no vote scheduled, Pelosi ain’t got the votes.

“As long as there is no vote scheduled, Pelosi ain’t got the votes.”

That’s why I’m a little worried about their smug little posturing of late. [of course they’ve been doing that for almost a year now, basTURDS!]

What I don't understand is how pelosi can be TOTALLY certain that each individual House member that says he/she is going to vote "yea" is REALLY going to vote "yea"?

Do they have to sign a contract in "blood" and take an oath that their soul belongs to satan if they change their vote? If not, (I know it's a long shot) but just saying you will vote "yea" would begin the process of getting this thing to the floor for the final showdown. I know, I know, it's a long shot but just maybe it would work and the fake "yeas" would blow up the bill by voting "no" and save this country.
