.@ChasFlemming Why not say, "no these amendments wouldn't have fixed the bill/solved problem, but they'd make a bad bill less bad"?
@ChasFlemming Should have been clearer. Voting yes doesn't mean you support everything, but politically your opponents can claim you do.

@DavidMDrucker Ah. I thought so, after I re-read. Thanks. -
@ChasFlemming Hope that helps. -
@DavidMDrucker Where I'm left: If I offer something I don't like as a compromise now, and the offer is rejected, do I have to renounce it? -
@ChasFlemming No rules. But as matter of politics it's helpful to be clear about where you stand - unless ambiguity is preferred -
@DavidMDrucker Tactical ambiguity? Is that not deception? -
@ChasFlemming Could be interpreted that way. Could be viewed leaving political flexibility. Subjective, voters end up deciding what it is -
@DavidMDrucker Rubio's people and many Rubio-sympathetic commentators accuse Cruz of flat-out lying. Either then or now. -
@ChasFlemming All campaigns make the most extreme arguments. Helps drive. Standard strategy.
