Trump threw Massie under the bus on the CARES vote because Massie was the only one holding up the vote. His opposition was totally futile.

This pretty much sums up Massie’s entire career in Congress. I love the guy for his politics, but it’s pointless when he’s one of no more than a half-dozen opponents of a bill that ends up passing by a margin of 400+ votes.

The guy ought to be a governor … so he can be more effective than if he’s just one of several hundred legislators.

Was it a bad bill or was it not? Was it the right thing to do, to make everyone who intended to vote for a bad bill actually put their name on it instead of doing an unrecorded voice vote? He was 100% right and normally always is.
