And that is exactly what the Republicans did by refusing to let the bipartisan bill that would pass both chambers hit the floor for a vote. That move would have had some "substance".
But instead they are going to play politics and present a bill that they know the Democrats will not approve.
And the only reason the Republicans are doing this is because they are afraid to alienate Trumps base within the party. No matter how you spin it you can't blame the Democrats. The only reason the bipartisain bill would not pass would be Trumps veto.
