Using the rules, McConnell has the ability to bring the Senate to a complete stop after the Dems’ filibuster outrage. He won’t because he’s useless.
And according to my limited understanding of Senate rules as such, there were ways he could have keep ObamaCare off the floor for a vote.
I repeat what I firmly believe. McConnell and the GOPe not only did not want to stop OC, he/they *wanted* it to pass, and just as it did, on a straight party line vote.
McConnell's visceral hate of conservatives is proof that we will never be on the same team. It is also proof that the GOPe doesn't really want control of congress. Or that they are mentally ill to believe they can do it without conservatives.
“Using the rules, McConnell has the ability to bring the Senate to a complete stop after the Dems’ filibuster outrage. He won’t because he’s useless.”
Worse than useless, since he actively works to undercut conservatives.
