The only way for McConnell to actually “do something” is to first dump the current filibuster rule. I simply can’t understand why he refuses to do so. I also can’t understand why that’s not a regular request from every conservative in the country, including that group of billionaires.
Drop the filibuster and we’ll start seeing bills make it through the Senate. Keep it and all we’ll have is gridlock, no matter who the Senate Majority Leader is.
Because he has have a built in excuse why he can’t do anything unless it benefits his pals the democrats and the cheap labor donors. The plan is to run out the clock on a one term Trump Presidency by stalling everything until January 2021 when either a “sensible Republican” or a “Democrat that we can do business with” takes over. The voters had a tantrum and rebelled against their preselected choices for the 2016 election so in order to get control of the process we have to teach them that an outsider is unable to be effective in Washington.Once after having learned their lesson the hard way they will once again allow the educated professionals who are naturally suited to run things get back to the business of getting things done in Washington and without an interference from the “voters” who think it’s their government!
