Sanders drops bid to block Israeli arms sales

Bernie dropped his proposal on a resolution to do it because he just doesn't have the votes. He had been holding up State Dept. nominees apparently as leverage for the resolution but has now dropped that too. 

This goes back to the last post. Just because the Dems in the Senate aren't going to back the resolution, Bernie still has the power of his veto on other must pass Dem legislation. And he just won't use it to force a vote on the resolution. He is caving to the status quo despite his strong rhetoric against it. As much as I champion Bernie for his stances, his surrender time and again is frustrating.
