Pally might explain it differently but I read it as the House passes a bill that goes to the Senate that is what they want the Senate to confirm...not that they "know" it will be confirmed. Most people know the Senate often makes changes and sends the bill back to the house. In the end, after the back and forth, the House DOES pass a bill that the Senate will confirm. Although even that isn't always an easy task even after the negotiations.
As one who is quick to call out a semantic argument I can't say I agree. Her basic premise is that if the Senate, led by the Dems, won't pass what the House sends them that's the GOP's fault. This is despite both chambers having an equal say and having to ratify the same budget. Pally is saying if a budget doesn't get passed it's the GOP's fault regardless of which chamber won't ratify the budget. This is insanely partisan, as stated, and contrary to the process. If Pally misspoke and says so, then sure. But what she actually posted is as I described here.
