That is exactly right, McCain is giving Reid cover.
McConnell is such a weak “leader” he probably doesn’t mind either. I don’t think McCain would be this far off the reservation again without some tacit approval from McConnell.
McConnell wants the Reid conference deal but doesn’t want to get his hands dirty in an election year. He probably doesn’t even mind the nuclear option because then the Dems can get everything they want through the senate in straight party line votes. No tough votes for the GOP Senators to take at that point.
These guys are sickening. Boehner & McConnell. Laurel and Hardy. Same old milquetoast loser strategy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
No question about it. Agree.

Disagree. I believe McConnell is actually in the Cruz/Lee/Paul court. He has generally encouraged them...and made no move to discipline them.
My guess is that McConnell detests the unreliable McCain and his "maverick" antics. Juan is the guy who is "off the reservation".
