"Do you trust Mitch McConnell?"

[madamesilverspurs]

That seems to be the main question from reporters as they query senators following the deal to end the shutdown.

That the question needs to be asked is significant.

1. Ziltch

nor do i trust trump...trump told the entire country that he would sign any bill they brought to him....and didn't.

trump has nullified the truth.

2. HELL NO. ask collins about how well promises are kept.

[Demsrule86]

15. Collins is a fucking liar. She was looking for an excuse.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. No friggen way!!!!!

[unblock]

4. trust doesn't really play into it.

if we don't get a deal we can live with, then we don't authorize a further extension and the shutdown returns in 3 weeks.

mcturtle's "promise" is not a key feature of this deal.

[kentuck]

6. Indeed.

7. Unless

McTurtle decides to use the "nuclear option", and please don't say he won't!!! Just because he didn't do it this time, is not an indicator that he won't do it in February!!!

And this isn't about a deal "we" can live with, it's about a deal that 800,000 Dreamers will have to live with!!!

10. well if he's going nuclear none of this matters much

and yes, democrats care about actual americans; republicans only care about billionaires (american optional).

13. Kinda hope he does, then we take back both houses in Nov

Imagine the wailing when Schumer & Pelosi start flooding Dotard's desk with legitimate bills and veto proof margins.

[Demsrule86]

14. We don't have the power to save the Dreamers without the GOP agreeing to it...that ship

sailed in November of 16. We have another shot in three weeks. That is the best we can do with our limited power...what would your suggestion be? Keep the government down indefinitely?

[Angry Dragon]

5. NO!!

[Leith]

8. I Trust Him to Do the Exact Opposite of What He Promises

I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

9. One look at the supreme court tells the story................. nt

[Freethinker65]

11. I trust Mitch McConnell to do whatever will help and enrich Mitch McConnell

[Demsrule86]

12. No. but this was the best deal we could get. At least they can't weaponize CHIP.

16. Is this a trick question?
