It seems to be passing without notice that THE REASON McConnell bowed to the Dummies and killed the filibuster for this outrageous bill was his fear that the Republicans would be blamed for shutting down the government if the bill was held up.
Even the brilliant Steve Bannon doesn’t seem to get it.
You can agree or disagree with his thinking but he obviously had what he thinks was a good reason for folding his royal flush hand. I think it was a big mistake but it is what it is.
If you fear shutting down the government (which is exactly what needs to happen - a real shut down with pain, anguish and uprooting everywhere- if this country and civilization has any chance for survival), then you will lose every battle forevermore. Which is likely exactly what rollin-in-the-dough Turtle wants.
