re: #366 jaunte

Which is a possibility, but I just have a difficult time believing the senate GOP is that suicidal.

If they were both meant to fail, Mitch would have set the clean CR first so it goes down, putting the screws on Schumer and the Democrats to vote for Trump’s self-made “deal.”

Instead Mitch gave the Democrats a ton of leverage and wavering senators like Gardner an escape hatch.
