David Marcus: 13 House GOP votes for infrastructure bill helps conservatives. Here's how

After months of frustrating attempts to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally got it across the finish line with the support of 13 Republican House members.

This is not a hill to die on by igniting a civil war in the GOP. 

There were basically three possible outcomes for the bills. The first was that neither passes. This was always a long shot, as evidenced by only six of the 40 members of the Progressive conference voting no. The vast majority compromised. Is it possible a total meltdown could have derailed both? Maybe, but it would have taken perfect and unlikely circumstances.
