But it won't pass by a veto-proof majority in the Senate. And we will see what the Senate Dems do.

Too bad that, with this margin of passage, even if Clinton was there to veto it, the veto would be overridden. And even worse that the Democrats in the Senate won't filibuster.

Here's a slogan to take to the barricades: "53.5% of Democrats are not as bad as Republicans!"

House passed bankruptcy bill 306-108 Thursday with all Republicans voting Yes.

93 Dems voted yes and 107 Dems plus Sanders voted No.

Too bad Clinton is not there to veto it any more.
