Green New Deal fails Senate test vote as dozens of Democrats vote 'present'

By Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News

The Green New Deal, a sweeping Democratic proposal for dealing with climate change, fell at the first hurdle Tuesday as the Senate failed to reach the 60 votes necessary to begin debate on the non-binding resolution, with 42 Democrats and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., voting "present."

No senator voted to begin debate on the legislation, while 57 lawmakers voted against breaking the filibuster. Democratic Sens. Doug Jones of Alabama, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona joined 53 Republicans in voting "no." Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, also voted "no."

The vote had been teed up by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in a bid to make Democratic senators -- including several 2020 presidential candidates -- go on the record about the measure. McConnell had called the proposal "a radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire U.S. economy."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

 This was not legislation that Democrats actually wanted to pass or even be debated on. It was just red meat for their base.  Another one is Medicare for All

Dems want to be able to run on the fairy tale of "doing something" about climate change,  but not have to confront voters with the cost.

Dreams are free.   A top-to-bottom socialist makeover of the economy costs trillions.

I happened to see OAC ranting and raving about this today...I didn't have the sound up but it looked like:

One of the "Hitler Finds Out" videos or..

She should have been laying on the floor kicking her feet while she was waving her hands.

Like I said...I have no idea what she was saying...but the visuals cracked me up.

She's getting quite an education, isn't she?  If she's smart enough to learn from it.
