The Votes on Witnesses were tabled by Mitch McConnell.
Those votes wouldve taken place right of the gate, if he had the (Republican) Votes.
He tabled them - meaning they would decide later on Witnesses.
It seems like a couple things have gone the right way since then, the Dems managed to offend both Collins and Murkowski.
One could argue Mitchs bet is paying off, but the final tallies arent in.
No....I think he was following the Bubba trial menu.
