Using “trade policy” (abstract, conservatives default to support) rather than “tariffs” (broadly unpopular and likely to be noticeable in their personal lives) is very much a choice.

Or how about they, and just hear me out here, wait until they have all of the proponents of the measure THERE before calling a vote? Gee, it’s almost like they wanted to say “we’re trying” without actually getting anything meaningful done!

I mean, that’s kind of the only job a Vice President has anymore, to suck dicks.

Not so much “cast” it as dropped it on his foot.
