The 17th amendment never considered a Mitch McConnell. The constitution would like it back now. Just skip past that one.
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, meanwhile, lamented that the collaboration between Democrats and McConnell-aligned Republicans would almost certainly lead to heightened spending.
“Merry Christmas, America. The Democrats and big government Republicans will be offering you a Christmas tree,” he said. “A Christmas tree in Washington is a bill that has something on it for everyone. You won’t know what it is until you get it. You won’t be able to read it until it’s done. But it will happen because the only thing that invariably happens in Washington is they will get together to spend money.”
