Blue slip?
-
Change one thing change everything. If no one ever goes nuke maybe a slightly different senate
-
Yeah, David, McConnell as institutionalist? I doubt I’ve ever disagreed with you more.
-
Well, it was bound to happen and you're in good company. A lot of disagreement w/ me on this one from people I think are smart observers.
-
I mean, he’s pretty much said his only interest besides campaign finance is one of the _other_ branches of government. And he’s changing rules & flouting norms in the Senate to shape the other branch of government.
-
I don't necessarily dispute what he's doing - nor do I contend that McConnell isn't ruthless. I just don't think his actions are necessarily sinister or as outside the norm as you do, but these things are debatable.
-
i mean, the reason Reid nuked the nominations filibuster is because McConnell successfully busted the norm that you don't filibuster every nominee!

Mitch McConnell is not an institutionalist. He has destroyed precedent and tradition in the Senate every time it benefits his politics
