She could quickly build a bi-partisan coalition that could force Moscow Mitch to bring it to a vote.

Just like if enough Republicans got behind the Heroes Act they could force Mitch to bring it to a vote.

Doing this would show that they aren't Trump's puppets. Then Trump would be forced to sign or veto. I don't think there is anyway Trump could veto.

But that will never happen. Moscow Mitch is fully owned by Trump. Maybe someday we'll learn what they have on him.

This is her last chance to demonstrate her independence to her constituents. It may be too late for her (I hope). But I would like to see something other than concern.

Honestly, whoever helps her with strategy just sucks. It seems like she could have formed a small group of Senators that could have really pushed Moscow Mitch. Maybe she doesn't have it in her to be that kind of leader.
