McConnell suggests he could hold Senate in session through October
Posted on September 22, 2018 by True Pundit Staff

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) suggested Friday that he could keep lawmakers in Washington until the end of October if Democrats seek to slow or block the confirmation of President Trump’s judicial nominees.

McConnell said the Senate would soon wrap up some of its major to-do items, like funding the government and confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

But he hinted that it would be up to Democrats to strike a deal on nominations if they want to leave town before the end of October.

“Our friends on the other side who have a number of incumbents running for reelection this year are going to want to … recess,” McConnell said at the Values Voter Summit, an annual gathering of conservatives in Washington.

“It won’t surprise you that I’m making my list and checking it twice,” McConnell said. “That, my friends, is how we’re dealing with obstruction.”  – READ MORE

There are a lot more Dems up for election than Pubies. So if a few skip town, all the better.

The joke failed if it has to be explained.  Someday I'll get a laugh out of you.  here is a hint.  Maybe pre-Trump McConnell is the same as post-Trump McConnell.

And that is their right to do that and the Democrats did similar in the past.

I think it would be amusing, except the Rats and a few of The Stupid Party will walk out, denying McConnell a quorum to get any votes at all.

That's true, on the other hand neither Corker or Flake have a campaign to get to.
