   After another hit and further contemplation, I realized there was something MtB did that was good~He kept the current AG off the SC.
That came to my mind as well.
Can't site much more.

The end result is the same.   Now McConnell's lost Manchin & Sinema --- the demcrats have the time to make sure of it.

Maybe the reverse is true. McConnell is keeping them firm on not nuking the filibuster by being the "adult" in the room. A long as the Rats don't nuke the filibuster they can only use reconciliation one more time and now they are stuck between the debt increase and their socialism forever bill.

My first reaction is Trump is right, fight it out now. I'm just guessing that McConnell is dragging this out because he has to in order to keep the filibuster.

GOP disappointment with McConnell deal could delay vote

Senate Republicans are taking a close look at the debt limit deal announced Thursday morning between Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and a group of conservatives are complaining to their colleague that they gave Democrats an easy way out.

Several Senate Republican sources said members of their caucus were “surprised and disappointed” when McConnell unveiled the parameters of the deal with Schumer on Wednesday.

One GOP senator said “you could hear a pin drop” when McConnell shared the details of his plan to allow Democrats to raise the debt ceiling to “a fixed number” without having to undergo the arduous process of amending the 2022 budget resolution and holding multiple time-consuming vote-a-ramas on the Senate floor.

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said some of his GOP colleagues were thrown for a loop because 46 Senate Republicans signed a letter in August warning Schumer they “will not vote to increase the debt ceiling, whether that increase comes through a stand-alone bill, a continuing resolution, or any other vehicle.”

“I’m not surprised that they are a little surprised and disappointed, because of course 46 Republicans signed a letter saying they wouldn’t vote for an increase,” he said. “I think they feel like maybe we could have pushed it a little longer.”

“The problem is the Republican members feel like we’re blinking and blinking a little earlier than might be necessary,” he added.

He said the upcoming weeklong Columbus Day recess, which is scheduled to begin this weekend, “probably entered into the calculation” to strike a deal.

“It’s not insignificant because people have plans and all that but plans aside, your plans to go on a CODEL [congressional delegation trip] are not the highest priority, the government is,” Cramer noted. “I think some people wanted to go closer [to the deadline] and feel like we blinked too soon.”

But Cramer also defended McConnell’s deal as an “elegant” solution to get out of tough situation with the debt limit deadline looming.

The goal of the socialist always has been (and always will be) to sanction their policies.  They want that 'bipartisan' cover for the failures of their own policies.  Twenty-eight trillion in debt?  The Republicans voted for it.  Obamacare?  The Republicans kept it.  Taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood?  The Republicans continue to fund it.  And so on.

888high58888   Mitch did this because he tends to pander to the leftists; I'm sure they line his pockets well.

I am almost positive his much younger Chinese wife has nothing whatsoever to do with his pandering to China. :smokin:

 Well, there's that too, unfortunately.

MtB needs to step down.  He's been a drain on the GOP for a long time.

I know now basically it's really a wait and see what happens, but chances are high that he'll cave.
