>>Now there’ll never even be a Senate vote on his proposed cuts. <<
There will be if he chooses the first items to cut wisely. If the Senate refuses to hold a vote, they’ll be on record as supporting the most ridiculous Dem spending idea Trump could find in the bill. And you know there are plenty of candidates.
Beyond that, you’re saying that McConnell is going to refuse to back the President. He might, but that could get interesting too.
“Beyond that, you’re saying that McConnell is going to refuse to back the President.”
McConnell has never backed this POTUS. He has worked tirelessly to undermine his agenda at every turn.
That will not change.
He’ll join with Schumer and declare the President’s actions a stunt meant to disrupt the nation.
And he’ll not let one single rescission hit the floor of the Senate for a vote. And Dim votes will back him.
Cloture will never come.
Absolutely the correct approach. Send individual requests for rescission on particular line items. This is essentially a line item veto request that the Senate and House can ignore at their own peril.
Make a daily request. Tweet away at each boondoggle and they have a 45 day clock ticking to take a vote. Trump will be the hero for forcing them to consider each piece individually. Key is to take lots of little bites.
