Oh, I DEFINITELY want some of what Mitch McConnell is smoking.



Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warned his fellow Republicans that he might reach out for Democratic votes if they can’t pass the health care bill written behind closed doors in his office, reported ABC News.

The majority leader is pushing for a new version of the bill by Friday to send to the Congressional Budget Office, after at least eight Republicans came out against the one written with little outside input by McConnell and his staff, reported NBC News.

But McConnell threatened GOP senators that he would seek Democratic input if Republicans didn’t rally behind the bill.

“Either Republicans will agree and change the status quo or … we’ll have to sit down with (Minority Leader Chuck) Schumer,” McConnell said Wednesday, after leaving a White House meeting with President Donald Trump and most of the GOP senators.
