Agreed.  This is all a stall tactic to see if anything can materialize.  Like in football, on a 4th and short, when the offense comes to the line to run a play, with a looooooong snap count, hoping to draw the defense into an offside penalty, while never intending to run the play.  Similarly, this is just a ploy by the desperate dems hoping the Republicans will yet again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
