The futility of this, Mitch will not go nuclear. He must know this right right? If Trump doesn’t stop the invasion on his own we are screwed.
Is our president so naive as to think McConnell and the other Republicans are going to do anything about this? Nuclear option, my foot. Why is he tweeting for them to do something when this is a matter of national security - well within his power to take action. He should never have signed that omnibus bill. He and we got suckered.
Mitch can’t go nuclear by himself. He needs 51 or 60 votes depending on which publication you read. He can’t get even 51 votes. When they tested the waters at the beginning of the current Senate term, they had 47 votes and no more.
