House Republicans didn’t lose the Iran war powers vote tonight.
They pulled it — because they were about to lose.
For three roll calls they defended Trump’s war on the floor. Tonight, with Golden flipped and their own members gone home, they wouldn’t let the floor be counted at all.
Asked point-blank what happened to the vote, the chair said only: “that was a women’s history museum.” Then moved on.
A pulled vote keeps the loss off the books. It’s barely better than losing — and they know it.
