Because the Senate Stepped Up!

Moscow Mitch just stood up and took credit for getting something done.

Now that he knows how it works, perhaps he can pull out that stack of nearly 400 Bills sitting on his desk and get some of them passed. Then, he can stand before the Senate and make nearly 400 speeches taking credit for getting out of the way.

I couldn't listen to the whole speech because he is as much or more of an irritation than the Orange Wonder. Truth be known, he'll probably go back to his hidey hole and contemplate his next nasty action.

De Facto President Pelosi as well as Schummer allowed Moscow Mitch to take a victory lap knowing he has only nine months left.

The Campaign Commercials are already in the can.

rare tactical misstep by her, would have been a golden opportunity to dig at the Republicans for wasting time in the Senate

Hard to hit them for delay when we just let the bill sit
