re: #224 lawhawk

McConnell is trying to throw all the red meat out for his base to respond to, while keeping government shut down (which is also red meat to the saboteurs in the base that think government must be shrunk to give them even more tax cuts).

He’s got to continually amp up the red meat because they’re not responding - it’s already at a boiling point, and he’s going to get diminishing returns going forward.

If McConnell is doing this now, he knows he’s in over his head. A string of DOA RWNJ bills aren’t going to move the needle one bit.

He’s losing.
