I see it as a tiny step in the right direction, but better than nothing.
Hopefully we can get more, later. But Trump needs a win, any win right now.
If this bill doesn’t pass, McConnell and nobody else is going to be seen as the biggest wing-nut this side of Pluto.
He fiddled around all year, put this off to the last minute, and now has a real problem on his hands.
This should be the 7th bill he was sending over. He has nobody to blame but himself. Ryan falls right into that same pit. At least Ryan will probably deliver.
Whether this passes or not, the other side could be in power when the bill sunsets in four or five years. At that time they will be able to say, even with a Republican controlled Senate, it only passed by one vote.
And you know what, they’ll be right.
This is a disgrace, served up warmed over by Mitch McConnell.
