Why undercut his message?
Odoreida
(1,549 posts)8. Because it's obvious bullshit no matter his credentials. n/t

Rock? Meet Hard Place. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. That's why Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey wanted to just shove this whole thing to the side and not ask their vulnerable members to have to go on the record with anything.
How's that working out Mitch?

(11,316 posts)6. kinda' my point
Wishing they could isn't really getting us anywhere. And I'm tired of stories where "the dam is stating to crumble." Myself .. I'm waiting until I actually see water spilling over the levee.
Saw something the other day where Joni Ernst was "telling" Mitch .. n' yada, yada, yada. Turns out .. no conversation with McConnell at all. Just babble designed to placate. So .. wanna' make a side bet with me which way Ernst is going to go?

Is this side bet going to be "heads I win, tails you lose"?
Ernst will pull a Susan Collins and express dismay about all of this terrible business. And then she will vote the way Moscow Mitch tells her to vote. TAA-DAAA!
