re: #328 Targetpractice
Because the GOP are not going to want to repeat this fiasco. Unless they’re prepared to drag this out until March, it’s going to have to end before the debt ceiling comes due and will do so in some fashion so humiliating that they won’t dare repeat it so soon. Hell, the danger of a debt default would be enough for Mitch to buck his “No bill Trump won’t sign” rule just to avoid an even greater humiliation than whatever they face now.
As much as Trump may want to watch everything burn, I’m not sure there are enough Senate Republicans prepared to sacrifice their party on the altar of his ego.
You have far too much faith in McConnell ever going the right thing.
If you think Republicans wouldn’t fuck up the US credit rating, I think you’re 100% wrong.
