let's not pretend that they aren't secretly thanking mccain.



One that is not thanking him is Mitch McConnell. All other things aside, having a bill you bring to the floor fail when you have a majority is a major, major failure.


But I agree, this is actually a good outcome for Republicans, politically speaking. No telling what happens in conference, and had the House passed this skinny repeal it would have been disastrous.

The politics on this shite are complicated. Mcconnell may have just known he needed to get a vote done to shut down the crowd.

sometimes you have to kill a chicken to keep the monkey's quiet.

normally I would agree that mcconnell would be embarrassed about this.
