Just reading through the senators twitter feeds and there appears to be a MASSIVE split.
Some want to go all out and STOP the vaccine mandate including shutting down the government until the Demoncrats agree to stop funding it.
Then you have McConnell going on Fox saying it's not happening!
I wonder how many of those seeking to defund the mandate appreciate this!
BIG move by Mitch because I'd say nearly half his members want to shut down the government including some reliable establishment types like Roger Marshall from Kansas (who is spearheading it, funnily enough).
This could easily boil over...
Hopefully McConnell has miscalculated. Perhaps not.
Either way one side is going to be very upset with Mitch McConnell.
Maybe they can oust him as Leader if they have the numbers and are upset enough at his surrender tactics.
That would be a great and pleasing outcome.
We lose they win

Naw, its just political theater.
Don’t be distracted by the noise. Republicans have no principles to fight over and Mitch will be right back in his senate leadership position. Noting will change.
Should be the Republican Motto.
This is not hard. We must have the GOPe Senators vote NO to raising the debt ceiling. Vote NO on any continuing resolution to fund the government. Vote NO on the Bankrupt America Bill. Experimental gene therapy mandates are losing in courts everywhere and losing bigly. Do not negotiate with the commies to get something on mandates that we are highly likely to already get from the courts.
Focus on the issue, which is Commie spending is fueling inflation which is about to get out of control and bankrupt the country. That is what must be stopped. Shutdown the government? What a joke. Maybe 15% of the government is given extra paid vacation time. Interest on debt continues to be paid, SS checks continue to go out.
The say they do. I'd say that nearly 100% of them SAID they wanted to get rid of Obamacare. For 10 years they said that was their number one priority. Talk is cheap, given the power to do it they said 'yeah, that was a lie. sorry!'.
I'll believe that there is a real split in the Senate GOP caucus when I see it. They always come through for the uniparty. Just look at all the legislative success Biden has had with GOP support and contrast to the GOP refusal to support Trump with legislature ever. What they do is way more important than what they say.
I’m interested to see where this goes. McConnell only needs 11 right? Not difficult for him but he’s going to p*ss off half his members who want to defund the mandate.
Either way it needs to go to a vote so we can see where they all stand.
THAT should be interesting.......
the GOP attacked their voters and the President,
then meekly gave America to ChInA for election
fraud which remains as acceptable to THEM as ROMNEYObamaCARE.
the GOP is evil, supports “vax”-rape and mandates
and IDs, just like they supported the guillotines
and Xiden.
any impeachment? no.
they are useless, beyond useless, and liars all.
Let’s face it, Mitch McConnell is nothing but controlled opposition and he works for the Democrats. Miss McConnell needs to go.
CNBC: “House strikes deal to avoid a government shutdown one day before deadline.”
Tempest, teapot. Name a shutdown that changed anything.
Useless drama and noise,that’s all it is.
I believe with all my heart that if the rats keep their power in 2022 because the majority of our base is so deflated and disgusted with our elected backstabbing weasel officials, the majority of conservatives will stay home! This country cannot survive another 2 to 4 years of this kind of crap! We are done we are cooked! No hope?
Of course. There are the RINO party insiders who think the party is for their benefit and then there are those who actually think they represent their states.
The U.S. Senate is where the fight is.
No unanimous consent so it has to go to a vote.
We will see the usual suspects vote to advance but it’s nice to get them on the record and as I said in the OP the acrimony could be lasting for leadership.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
If they vote for this atrocity, they’re Deep State.
It’s just the same game. Dither till September. Then push to December. Then push to March.
We’ve had continuing resolutions and “cliffs” since 2007.
It’s all play-acting.
The GOP died on January 6th, 2021.
Yes, it’s just Kabuki theater among the RINOcrats.
‘
It is all acting!
It’s like all the bluster and press conferences but they never issued a single Subpoena in 4 yrs to investigate any part of the Biden family Foreign Cash machine. Go on Hannity, and they’re chomping at the bit, but it’s all acting for Television.
