Can we now give McConnell some credit.... or is that still unacceptable here?
McConnell handled this well from start to finish imho
McConnell realized he had been backed into a corner. If he did not do this the Dems were surely going to the next time they had the majority, and he would surely go down in history as the Senate’s Biggest Fool.
After Harry Reid ditched the other filibusters he probably crapped his pants for a couple of days before coming to realize he had no option.
