Where I am, for what little it is worth, is that the defectors were in fact defectors, and they blew the political opportunity. But we were not on the verge of extending the enhanced subsidies unless you can think of a way to get *House* Republicans on board.

Someone leaked this deliberately. We are getting defectors.
A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

I think Hickenlooper, at a very minimum, and probably also Coons and Warner need to be treated as de facto defectors

I assure you if anyone in the Democratic Senate caucus actually believed this was a good bill they would be physically restraining one of the "defectors" from voting, which would not be particularly difficult anyway
They all support it!

We were unified on Tuesday. Yet Senate leadership couldn’t hold the caucus to their own line in the sand. They and the defectors are sowing the very divisions you speak of.

Well either he coordinated that each of these defectors were ones who had no fear of being voted out any time soon or he’s so ineffective he can’t stop defectors. So either way it’s an indictment on how much he sucks.

what magical lever do these people think the senate minority leader has to rein in 10 defectors
Had Schumer been replaced after the spring fiasco you wonder if the result would have been different. He is not a wartime consigliere

Nobody is going to vote for a party that refuses to stand up for working people. The fact that defectors are allowed in the Dem caucus is why Americans’ way of life is under threat.
We are acting like our lives are at stake.

I think it was B and then A. He didn't plan on voting for it, but then the defectors pressured him until he cracked. He then arranged the votes to prevent the defectors from being vulnerable in a primary.
Either way, it's bad leadership.
