You NEVER EVER EVER put something up for a vote, that you don’t want.
More Democrats than he thinks will vote for it.
If it get 25% of the votes, it will afford more validity to the idea than ridicule of it.
It will be described as progress, the best ever showing regarding Leftist’s ideas.
This will give Leftists cover the next times
Mitch is too smart by half.
I think your analysis is spot-on. It will give legitimacy to the whole ridiculous thing and it will gain traction. Bad idea.
It should be buried and never see the light of day. Better to let Little Miss Muffet whine about it all day long.
I agree. I’d suspect a lot of Dems will vote for it and this will give it more legitimacy. Bad idea.
Some senators don't care because they come from freak states. The dems in the house, and specifically Pelosi, should be worried. The more publicity this gets, the worse their chances in 2020.
I agree with you. Mitch is acting like a Democrat the day after Trump won the election.
“More Democrats than he thinks will vote for it.”
hopefully, ALL the Dems will vote for it ... but a split down the middle could be even better as it fractures the party ...
You see this clearly. Voting on it means it's on the table, meaning it will ever more be a topic of legitimate discussion. Ignoring it completely is the path to take.
How about a Sense of the Senate resolution offer McCabe exile with AOC on Vieques, and then a bill to reopen Navy proving ground on Vieques.
