This is McConnell’s way of Killing the $2000 Bill without saying he is against it. He knows that if he put the increase Bill on the floor for a straight up or down vote it would pass. Coupling it with two other pieces of legislation is a sure way to kill it, because he knows he is running out of time in this legislative session even if he had the votes, which he doesn’t. The only hope of getting an up or down vote on the $2000 Bill would be 12+ Republican senators to join the Democrats and force a vote. So far, they only have 5.
Exactly. The Turd will be happier as MINORITY LEADER, than
Majority leader.
100% agree with you. President Trump is absolutely right (as usual) and this is suicidally stupid on McConnell’s part. Yet here we are.
Ultimately what needs to happen is a bunch of GOP senators need to go public supporting President Trump’s call for the increases and push for a clean bill for each of President Trump’s issues. Let the Democrats show themselves to be against election integrity with a clean bill. Let the $2000 checks pass. Let everyone show where they stand on each individual agenda item.
