Can't catch you, cowboy, your horse is too fast.

Squirt, squirt, squirt. Squirt, squirt, squirt.

Oops... almost forgot the LOOLL! HAHAHA! I'M SO INFORMED BY LYING IDIOTS! WIDELY REPORTED! LOL!

You have examples of 6 or 7 GOPers who confirmed they'd never vote for it - vs literally every major news outlet reporting that the bill had the REP. votes needed to pass prior to Trump's meltdown. 

Great. Whatever. 

If you want to get down to the straw that broke the camel's back on this bill and the votes originally committed to it - look no further than Mitch McConnell. 
 He and the dozen or so others still invested in his work on the bill even flipped on their own damn legislation after Trump demanded they not give Dems a border "win"

You can cling to an inaccurate version of events if it makes you feel better, but that bill was set to pass before Trump killed it over political pettiness.

Which "every major news outlets" were supposedly "reporting" that Republicans were backing the bill?  Do they have Republicans on camera saying that they supported the bill (or not)?  When was that "reported"?

The bill was dead long before President Trump said anything publicly.

The bill was never about border security and everything about sending more money overseas to Ukraine and a lesser extent Israel.
