I wish he could have included removal of the pork, too, although it would be a fairly meaningless gesture at this point because the House would never pass such a bill. The Senate should not have passed the pork bill in the first place, and Trump certainly should have taken advantage of his freedom of action as a lame duck and vetoed it. But the pork ship has sailed, with the acquiescence of the President and all but a few dozen Representatives and a handful of Senators.
Pork in itself is not the enemy.
The key to this may be the defense bill. Everyone wants to override that veto, and if Mitch allows the veto override to be held up great things may happen on the other issues.
Will find out tomorrow, not holding my breath LOL!
Mitch has done well for Senate Rs, hasn’t much to offer Senate Dems though.
At least not with the media being the Dem propaganda arm that it is.
