[or he is exactly the guy President Trump needed to bring in as a senior advisor to help clean out the swamp creatures ]
This! IMO, Mooch earned bucco points in my book with the New Yorker article.
I predict Reince will be packing his bags soon, and Mooch taking his place as CoS.
Bannon is on notice.
This is McCain’s career in a nutshell. On your side when you don’t need him, a knife in the ribs when you do.
And this is McConnell’s MO. No doubt he was counting votes. He had enough “no” votes to kill this thing without appearing to kill it, so the other senators were allowed to vote “yes” and look like good guys. But if he needed another vote to kill it, he’d have forced another Repub to take the hit, be a maverick, and vote no. For the most idealistic of reasons, of course.
When you talk about draining the sewer, you’re talking Repubs as well as Dems.
McCain is worse than a swamp creature, he is a sewer creature. And he loves being the king of crap.
