The Dems who didn’t stick together are the 8 (including King, technically an independent) who joined with Republicans to block ACA benefits.

Don't be done with the party. In a two party system where one party is trying to destroy the planet, there is no other choice. But DEMAND NEW LEADERSHIP.

are you kidding me! He's minority leader. He whipped his caucus on this, knew exactly how many votes were needed, and what result he wanted. He then insulted us by using his own nominal "no" vote as a shield. Pathetic!
