The DISCLOSE Act End Game

Eliza thinks there’s little chance the bill passes when it comes up for a vote, likely this week. CQ Politics says at this point it is all about drawing contrasts between Democrats and Republicans.
What a shame that moderate Republicans would not come out with their own proposal to do the important things that need to be done with campaign finance disclosure after Citizens United, and what a shame that Democrats used the bill as an opportunity to try to do things beyond disclosure that lost the possibility of bipartisan compromise and gave opponents talking points against the entire bill.
