It's not a flop without a vote. I can agree with that definition. It's then not a "blocked" bill without a vote either. Right?
I'm certainly not trying to seem like I'm jumping to any conclusions. But we should like to keep our definitions uniform throughout a given paragraph. Well, at least if we aspire to call ourselves rational.
The bill is sponsored by 37% of Democrats
22 Republican cosponsors out of 219 Republican representativs.
The bill is sponsored by 10% of Republicans.
I think you might be jumping to conclusions by calling it a bipartisan flop. Co-sponsorship is not the same as a vote, there may be people not on the sponsorship list who would vote for the bill.
The bill was introduced 3 months ago (43 days these last three months was a government shutdown) and not enough time has passed to determine whether the bill will be a "flop" or not.
