Is it really plausible that Mitch McConnell didn't know what McCain was going to do?

Something is fishy here.

We’re always told that Mitch McConnell is a master of Senate rules and procedures. He’s also not given to calling votes on matters unless he knows he’s going to get the outcome he wants.

So let’s review what happened last week. First, we hear the dramatic news that cancer-stricken, 80-year-old John McCain has agreed to travel from Arizona to Washington to take part in the ObamaCare repeal vote. One of the McCain’s first acts upon arriving back in Washington is to cast a vote permitting debate on a variety of repeal proposals. So far so good. It appears that McCain has actually come through for the repeal effort.

Political Kabuki. Of course McConnell knew.

If Benedict McConnell is such a master but didn't know, then Einstein was an average intellect who got lucky.

McConnell was the one who chose which Senators would 'take one for the team.'

I highly doubt McConnell didn't know.

[INVAR]

McConnell routinely works to ensure a bill that favors the Statist agenda the Democrats want has enough votes to pass, and then votes against it with a 'no' vote for 'his record'.

He does the same in reverse when it comes to Conservative measures that will restrict government or limit their grip on our liberties.

I loathe McConnell far more than I ever loathed Obama.
