Granted, but I'm starting to think this plan was more of a threat to Obama ("we're going to stick this ALL on you if you don't play ball") than a policy McConnell really wanted.
I think that is right, seeing as Obama didn’t immediately and publicly say “YES!”
But to win the war here, McConnell needs to say: You had your chance. Offer revoked.
THEY SHOULD NOT LEAVE THIS ON THE TABLE. AT THIS POINT, IF THEY HAVE THE GUTS TO YANK IT, IT WILL HAVE SERVED A USEFUL PURPOSE, BUT THEY CAN’T LET IT DANGLE.
(in my opinion....)
