The reasoning in the legislator�s argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument
gives no reason to think that the predicted election outcome would be different if the majority party had not supported the bill
focuses on the popularity of the bill to the exclusion of its merit
infers that the bill is unpopular from a claim that presupposes its unpopularity
takes for granted that the bill is unpopular just because the legislator wishes it to be unpopular
bases its conclusion on the views of voters without establishing their relevant expertise on the issues involved
