Yeah, there’s that. Maybe there’s a plan.

Mitch McConnell owes is position of leadership in the Senate to three realities:

1. Raising money and controlling the nomination and election process.

2. Selling out the Republican base in matters of the budget and in virtually all kinds of legislation.

3. Concealing the sellouts by rendering it utterly opaque and enabling Rino Republicans to evade going on public record.

Somehow, I do not believe that his purpose now is to force his fellow Republicans to go on record, to build the wall he never wanted or to perpetuate a shut down he has sought to avoid for years.

It will be the same path that the “Republican” Senate has followed since the Obama years — cave in and give up.

I read that it’s a bait and switch regarding the funding for the wall. They will fund the wall but once again put wording in the law stating POTUS can’t spend it on a wall. Similar to another funding bill passed sometime in 2018.

Do not re-open government without funds for the wall. Do not.
