Love the saying.
Hume was foaming at the mouth. Don’t think he gives spit about McConnel or Boner for that matter, Bret is fretting about Cruz getting more ‘rein time’ than whomever he’s liking, jeb likely.
McConnell then huddled in the well of the Senate floor with a group of pro-trade Democrats, including Cantwell, Murray and Sens. Bill Nelson (Fla.), Tom Carper (Del.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Ron Wyden (Ore.), the ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee.
The breakthrough came when McConnell promised Cantwell that he would schedule a vote next month on an amendment authorizing the Export-Import Bank.
As soon as he did, Cantwell wheeled around and voted “Aye,” followed in quick succession by Murray, Heitkamp and Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).
McConnell’s proposal also pushed Graham, who was also in the huddle to vote yes.
