“McConnell ... plans to make several major demands of the White House, including changes to Medicare, Social Security, and EPA regulations as his price for raising the nation’s debt limit.”

This is hilarious. McConnell taking a “stand”? He’s standing on two banana peels, facing backwards on the down escalator.

That's fine if they want to take a stand, but it has to be more than symbolic, otherwise it won't be worth doing (and they'll cave anyway). If they want to truly take a stand, then they need to do a full media/social media blitz to explain why they want to do this, and what will happen if changes aren't made.
