bmags Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) McConnell is going to do everything he can to pass it while the world is distracted by Russia. Probably true but to be honest there is something strange about giving the responsibility to whip to Ted Cruz. Like he's just trying to prevent a revolt to his right, but knows he's toast. But I'll never underestimate after the house the ability for people with deep concerns over a bill to vote for it because of some token gesture.

I don't really understand it either, since it seems reeeeally at odds with McConnell's nature. He's brilliant, and typically pragmatic as hell. Often 10 steps ahead of everyone else. Maybe there's some secret genius going on here in passing a bill that more than 80% of Americans are against, but I can't see it. I really just don't see what he's seeing, unless - for once - he's blinded by ego and just desperately wants to trash Obamacare on principle.

McConnell wants healthcare to pass FAST while Trump is in office, do they can get their tax breaks and slash medicaid /PP then blame it on Trump when he's impeached. That way they minimize the amount of political capital they lose. THAT'S the McConnell I know and hate. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
