...they prove you to be spectacularly wrong. House Democrats craft and submit a bill calling for the abolishment of ICE. House Republican leadership says, "OK, let's put your bill to a vote." The Democrats who submitted the bill, having had their bluff called, respond by declaring that actually voting on the legislation THEY proposed is a stunt indicating that it's not being taken seriously, so in protest they will vote "no" on their own bill.

And how do leftist .mouthpieces like Vox.com characterize this incident of Dem faces being covered in egg? By declaring that the Dem's rejection of their own bill is a brilliant call of a Republican bluff.

So here's Vox's characterization of things:

Dems, among themselves: "We're hold 7-2 off-suit on a flop of A-A-K. Let's make a move."

Dems: "We raise to 3x the pot."

Reps: "Alright, let's what you've got. We raise all-in."

Dems: "Ha! You fell into our trap! We fold."

Vox commentator, as the Reps are scooping up chips: "That was a brilliant play by the Dems. They really showed those Republican amateurs how to play poker!"
