Since the Senate is still in Democratic hands, Harry Reid shouldn’t have needed the approval of three Conservative Republican Senators to get the CRomnibus passed — that is, if all of the Democratic Senators agreed to vote for the bill.
But we’ve known since at least Thursday that all of the Democratic Senators are NOT in favor of the bill — in fact, Elizabeth Warren and her liberal followers have made it known that they’re strongly against it, primarily because of the gifts to Wall Street and millionaire campaign donors it contains.
Harry doesn’t have enough votes or the bill would have been passed by now. Could it be that the Senate Republicans, even its RINO majority, are unwilling to vote for the bill so that Harry can go home for Christmas?
If Harry can’t get enough votes, the government will shut down, and then he can go home. Or, if the Senate Republicans stand firm, they can pass a series of short-term Continuing Resolutions until the new year is here and the Republicans take over the Senate and begin to carry out the mandate the voters gave them last month. Would Mitch McConnell be honorable enough to do such a thing?
Yes, he does. Cloture is still in effect. Any single sentator can block this measure.

LOL! What a load of bull.
Warren is an empty suit the media paint with unbelievable (though apparently not to you) PR: Obama in drag.
