Mcconnell may have just known he needed to get a vote done to shut down the crowd
Maybe, but still the Senate Majority Leader bringing a bill to the floor that only needs a simple majority that fails, is a major failure for him. The optics are terrible. Add to it that it is a bill that has had MAJOR Republican support for 7 years now. And it was such an unorthodox way of proceeding. He likely recovers, but it's a huge black eye for him the next few months.
Contrast it with how Pelosi and Reid whipped the hell out of votes in 2009 and 2010. They didn't bring it to the floor until they knew they had the votes to pass it. Or even Ryan a month ago with his bill.

McConnell has a track record of being an excellent political tactician. Which should lead you to question why he'd have a vote that he didn't know was going to pass (or not).

The democratic party has a semblance of connective tissue, the republicans is bone on bone. they hate each other.
