Quote:The bill that I have been talking about is in fact what Marco Rubio proposed, along with Democrats in Congress.

 

As of matter of fact, he did vote on the bill in The Senate (which passed), but it got shot down when it went to The House.  What many are calling "flip-flopping" is simply not true.  He simply stated that he learned that you can't do a large, comprehensive bill and have it pass.  You must do it a bit at a time.

 

It wasn't shot down when it went to the house.  It never went for a vote in the house.  Not even for debate. The Senate passed it 84-15, and the house refuses to do anything on it at all.  Boehner won't put it up for vote, citing the Hastert Rule (Majority of the Majority party must support a bill before he puts it up, though this informal 'rule' has been broken many times by many speakers.  Many by Hastert himself.)
