I think it’s likely Dems wouldn’t support the bill.
Rs had Ds over a barrel in recent negotiations, due to the makeup of the legislature. It’s why Ds largely signed off on a bill that was a wish-list for Rs and gave little ground to Ds. To get *anything* done, Ds knew they had to kowtow to virtually every R demand.
If Trump wins, the shoe will be on the other foot. Ds in the legislature will be in the drivers seat for negotiations.
Basically, Trump fumbled the Rs best chance to get what they want.
And btw, you’ve still not explained why you think the bill didn’t go far enough and/or what you think could feasibly get passed.
Really, upon more thought, you're probably right. Republicans should have taken it and run with it. What I'd like to see regarding Immigration would have zero chance to make it through. Something is better than nothing.
