I’m shocked, too, but very pleased. And very curious why. Mitch, Lankford aren’t up for reelect. ?

R money guys, cheap labor guys like Koch won’t feel any backlash. ??

Few R senators are in danger of losing this cycle, but those that are up in Nov. may have advised Mitch his precious senate majority will be in jeopardy if this passes. ? DjT doesn’t pull much sway over Mitch yet. ?

I thank God, but have no clue as to what changed in 24 hours. Maybe they heard us for a change. ????

Conversely, suppose Schumer got word from his senators up for re-elect they'll be massacred if we support this, even in blue states.

"You're looking at a veto proof R majority, Chuck."

So, Schumer passes word to Mitch that he can't put his colleagues in danger and will go soft. He asks buddy Mitch to do same, but go first.

I'll come up with some plausible booolchit in a day or so.

Maybe its the Ds with cold feet.

Similarly, Jeffries had hopes of retaining house, but that blows up, too, resulting in 3 branches of govt, both sides of congress, and Trump in executive. A trifecta... HOLY CHIT !!! Retreat.

I’m not believing that for a millisecond or even a nano...
