Yesterday, John Cornyn called Mitch McConnell a Master Legislator

How's he doing now ???

As a destructive influence, perhaps. However, what has he achieved that is constructive ? Little or none.

Will the knives be out for him now ? To go for just repeal looks like throwing his remaining toys out of the pram, and should have any moderate Rep running for the hills. This is another massive miscalculation, having called for it, to either go through with it or back down again.

Although I despise Cornyn he is no dummy. Having read some of his legal opinions i have some respect for him as a lawyer. i really think the republican wall is starting to crack.

Cabinet.

The turtle is a known failure - he was going to make Obama a one-term President.

he's so desperate that he's trying for just a repeal of the ACA. Boehner is going to look like a colossus in comparison.
