Politico: McConnell 'Screws' Dems By Keeping Them at Work

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is "screwing" over his Democratic colleagues by keeping them in session this October and therefore keeping them off the campaign trail, according to Politico's Burgess Everett.

"Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is planning to keep the chamber in session for a significant portion of October if not four entire weeks, costing Democrats key campaign trail days and allowing the Senate to continue its work into the fall, according to five Republican officials," Everett writes.

Yet, Republicans say two weeks is plenty of time for their Democratic colleagues to make their case to voters.

Hey, just because the Senate is in session doesn't mean Democrats can't go home and campaign.

Judiciary Cmte must vote next on Kavanaugh. Expected cmte mtg tomorrow. But cmte rules allow for a wk delay. So cmte vote not expected until Sept 20. Cmte breakdown is 11 GOPers/10 Dems. Expect party line vote.

In the same vein, Republicans up for re-election are also obligated to do the work of congress in October, not just democrats.

Seems fair to me.

TFB, Rats.  You've been the ones pulling delay, delay, delay so blame yourselves for the overtime.

Yep!  When I was campaigning for office I still had to go to work every day.   Those people are no better than I am regardless of what they think.

It's nice to see Mitch finally turning his talents to Democrats v. Freedom Caucus Republicans.
