re: #165 Dark_Falcon

Not much chance of McConnell taking THAT kind of deal:

Top Republicans: Get ready to make deals

The hammering sound you heard while reading that first sentence was the sound of Mitch McConnell nailing his colors to the mainmast.

Sounds like something written by Herman Melville.

You’re assuming McConnell has complete control of his caucus. And that the House will go along with whatever he wants. What makes you so sure there won’t be another gop tantrum calling for shutdown or default?
