I'm no McConnell fan as I have illustrated in the past. But, there may be another way to view what happened here.

If Obmacare needs funding and we don't fund it,did we really give up on killing zero care? Also, looks like McConnell went nuclear with a majority vote only needed in the Senate. Something we have been asking for a long time now.

When these Bozos screw up we need to fry them. But, it's possible they are doing the right thing here and if I had to guess this appears to be a Trump style of stealth.

The protocol of unlimited debate and therefore cloture does not apply to some 25 subjects that might pass through the Senate. Budget is one such subject.

Since Chief Pirate Roberts ruled that Obamacare was a Tax any funding bill can make any changes to this TAX.
