"...might be seen as an overreach...". By who? And if so, who cares? Trump just laid waste to the entire democrat party and the feckless branch of the Republican party. He has a clear mandate.

McConnell worrying that someone will be upset....THAT'S EXACTLY THE TYPE OF COWARDLY BEHAVIOR THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE JUST REBELLED AGAINST, AND MCCONNELL STILL DOESN'T GET IT.

Collaboration is not cowardice. Technically speaking. To be a coward means you actually stood for what your electorate stands for, and there is no evidence of McConnell ever doing so even going back to the Reagan years. This move is pure sabotage.

I was gonna call him a coward but you beat me to it.

THAT’S EXACTLY THE TYPE OF COWARDLY BEHAVIOR THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE JUST REBELLED AGAINST, AND MCCONNELL STILL DOESN’T GET IT.

I don’t think this was unexpected by Trump. They know Ryan and McConnell were going to be problems. I hope Gingrich has a strategy for Trump to run over them.
