Why would McConnell tee-up a Dem plan?
How about: It’s the R’s way or the highway!
Because....Mitch McConnell.
Right?
Technically it is a sop to Schmuckie because Mitch needs 60 votes just invoke cloture on the Trump plan.
So that was the deal.
Mitch needs to WTHU and do away with the filibuster on EVERYTHING.
51 votes—it passes.
The Dem Senators are a logjam and need to be ignored.
They haven’t done their jobs for 2 years now anyway.
