Trump to McConnell: Use the nuclear option!
To sum up, we’ve gone from needing Democrat votes for the wall to McConnell being told to kill the filibuster and push it through that way.
Not to be nitpicky, but if McConnell doesn’t use the nuclear option, does it mean he now bears responsibility for the government shutdown? After all, the country is counting on him.
In any event, looks like there’s a lot of pressure on Republicans in the Senate to get this done.
I wouldn’t count on the republicans doing anything except covering their asses.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY): Not enough votes —
“This morning, several Senators put out statements confirming their opposition (to the nuclear option), and confirming that there is not a majority in the conference to go down that road,” David Popp, McConnell’s Comms Director said.
