That is a more upbeat interpretation & I thank you for that. Only POTUS & Mitch know the truth. My money is on POTUS and if Mitch is playing “put a good face on it” while planning a longer game it is all the better for our Country.
It is a horrible deal but I really didn’t expect much from the R’s in congress to begin with, they are horrible negotiators. Other than the tax cut and judges they are been utterly useless in the majority for the last two years. They are never on offense and play horrible defense. McConnell is trying to dress this turd up as much as possible and Trump will sign it. And Trump will use this to beat the Democrats about the head in 2020 as the open borders and anti-law and order party which will help in his re-election and if re-elected even more conservative judges on the bench, McConnell’s only redeeming value thus far.
The real fun will begin if Trump signs this CR and then continues to prep the battlefield for the National Emergency declaration. The leftist GOP congress critters as well as the Dims will go banana’s and that will hurt the GOP’s congressional efforts in 2020 with the base and for sure from any Trump Democrat and independent voters and they will be bringing that upon themselves by opposing the NE declaration.
