The bill in the senate only had about half the support of the GOP, not the full support, and that was because the majority worked with the minority to find a compromise, not because the GOP members randomly chose to be magnanimous.

In the House, however, we have jackass McCarthy running things, and he doesn't even seem to know what the word "compromise" means.  So of course Dems aren't going to vote for a bill when they've had no input into its creation.  That's not their fault; that's them doing their jobs.
