McConnell Says He's Waiting to Figure Out What Kind of DACA Deal Trump Will Sign
By Susan Jones | January 18, 2018 | 8:29 AM EST
 

(CNSNews.com) - "There are a lot of people on both sides of the aisle trying to get an outcome on DACA," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told a news conference on Wednesday.

But McConnell said he won't bring any bill to the Senate floor unless he's sure it's something President Trump will sign into law:

A minority of the voters voted for him, but they provided slim majorities in enough states to give him the win via the Electoral College.

It's gotta be frustrating for McConnell to try to negotiate while he's providing no spine.

He has elevated it to an art form and built his entire career around the practice of it.

I don’t think it is acting. One doesn’t “play” dumb 100% of the time.

Some say his IQ off the scale.  No mention of which end.  So you may be correct.

McConnell should know that Trump will sign ANYTHING that can be spun as a "win".

After all, Trump caucused with Pelosi and Schumer back in December to get a 'win' the last time they kicked the budget can down the road.

That would fit your narrative and a few others.  Go with God on that then.

There's already established history there Wingy.

Then, by all means  gloat when he repeats your prediction of "winning".

I look forward to it.  Please "mention" me when it happens.
Peace out.

Here you go Wingy.  I've now mentioned you since it happened:

Trump hails 'excellent' meeting with Schumer on shutdown

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/369834-trump-hails-excellent-meeting-with-schumer-on-shutdown

excerpt
Quote
“Making progress - four week extension would be best!” the president added.
 
 
Schumer emerged from the meeting, however, singing a different tune.

So Trump will sign a "Win" of a 4 week extension of the budget, instead of actually signing a budget.

WINNING!

Right?

Well Wingy - I have no plans to 'sign' anything so I'm hard-pressed to figure out how I am 'projecting' outside of expecting Trump to sign whatever it is he is handed for 'the win'.

I guess if that is how you are defining 'projection' oooookaaaaay.  Of course if I had projection powers - and could c cause trump to do what I am expecting or 'projecting' him to do - that would be interesting.

Unless of course you think negative waves have an impact there Moriarty?

Trump has already said the best outcome was kicking it down the road some more... That's hardly "projecting"... That's just listening to what he said... At least what he last said... For the moment... Until he says something else...

Talking to you people is like talking to ...well like talking to you people.

Let me say it in terms you may understand...  Forget the rhetoric.  The he said BS.  If trump signs the "extension" to kick the can out 4 more weeks.  Then by all means drag my chapped ass over the coals with shards of broken glass till I'm bleeding like Carrie in the shower scene.

Till then STFU
