The Dems could have carried this vote on their own. They have a majority in both Houses, and to pass, the bill only required a numerical majority. Instead, 95 Dems voted against the bill.
Therefore, it is not logically possible for Dems to attribute the failure to the Republicans. Such a conclusion defies the rules of logic.
To be fair, however, the Republicans are also on shaky ground. Most Republicans voted against the bill.
