“In all the screaming, the one thing I haven’t heard is that the GOP could pass exactly the budget it wants with zero input from Schumer and the rest of the Dems if McConnell would jettison the filibuster rule.”
Why Mr. Norseman, the Republicans already ARE passing the budget they want. You seem to suggest the GOP’s interests are materially different than the Democrats.
Right, they’re all the same. Might as well hide under the covers because it’s never going to change.
You do realize that President Trump has virtually no power over legislation as long as McConnell sticks by the filibuster, right?
Absent that, he can twist arms, even Democrat arms.
But with McConnell holding the filibuster, he and he alone, holds the power in DC.
And that’s fine, if he can keep it. What I don’t understand is the apparent inability of conservatives to understand that fact and unite against him. Instead, crickets.
