re: #170 palomino

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?

The House doesn’t to go along for McConnell to frustrate Cruz. And as for a tantrum, that’s why its better for McConnell to make his intentions clear right now, so that any rage boys will rage now and not later and while elected officials won’t want intra-party feuds spoiling the glow of their win.
