McConnel knows there are NO good choices to be made. This IS GOP"S last stand.

esp. Mitch McConnell (though more out of complicity than cowardice IMHO)

1. If and when he allows any house appropriations bills to HAVE a vote, they will pass easily in the Senate and then Trump will veto, so the anchor goes around the House and Senate GOP to vote on a veto OVERRIDED which takes 2/3rds to do.
2. 2/3rds = magic number of the Senate to find impeachment conviction, a number McConnel does not want to see with an override vote.
IF GOP politicians fall out of step, trumps base support is enough to see many, if not most of the defectors LOSE a primary challenge. Of course the replacements would be SO BATSHIT crazy that all sorts of NEW democratic pickups would be in play in 2020 (and 2022).
we are witnessing the full destruction of the Republican party in realtime.
We are not even talking Mueller probe, House investigations and hearings or FBI tying trump to Putin
throw that in too, what a mess and PUTIN COULD NOT BE HAPPIER
