Conservatives ramp up pressure on McConnell to block spending bill

[Free Vulcan]

Senate conservatives are trying to tighten the screws on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other GOP colleagues in hopes of blocking a year-end omnibus spending bill, threatening to drag out the floor debate right up until Christmas if necessary.

The new push from conservatives to instead pass a stop-gap spending bill freezing federal spending levels until next year, when Republicans will control the House, comes the day after Republican candidate Herschel Walker lost in the Georgia Senate runoff.

That loss expanded Democrats’ Senate majority in the next Congress and marked the latest GOP disappointment of the midterm election cycle, which Republicans entered with high hopes of recapturing the Senate.

McConnell will do what he does best.

McConnell will do what he does best. 

They need to hold tight and let the RINO's vote for this crap, so we know who to primary the next two cycles.

McConnell now has a choice between helping Conservatives or helping Democrats.  Is anyone here unclear on which one McConnell will chose?

The cloture vote is what matters.  McConnell and ten other Republicans will vote with the Dems to end debate.  Then those same 11 Republicans will vote against the spending so that they can tell their constituents what good Conservatives they are.
