This is how our political system really works ... No "real rules" despite Speaker Ryan promising to return the House to order and follow "rules" such as the 2 min voting time... The GOP would have LOST this vote at 2 min so they kept voting open for over 7 minutes ...3X LONGER than the rules provide until they were able to strong arm casted votes to change... Traditionally AFTER you cast a vote and you desire to change said vote, you must walk to the front to the "well" to change so you are seen changing your vote...not today ..they just strong armed ppl. Left the electronic voting on till they got their way... Then ended voting. If you watch the clip, you will hear the chamber start chanting "SHAME". #realpolitics ...
