Quote:It will be interesting to see if that lame duck steaming pile of excrement will even call it to vote. It will probably have to wait on McConnell, like the majority of the last 6 years of legislation has had to wait.

 

They will. It's all political. They'll have a vote on it Tuesday or Wednesday and it'll pass with all the repubs joined by a few dems.

 

It's all political theater, though. Mary Landreau wants it done to appease toothless backwater morons in LA in hopes she can get reelected and the bill will be pocket vetoed by Obama, but that procedural result will be after her election.

 

After this the dems will say they did everything they could to help her get reelected, but really they didn't. If they wanted to be reelected they should have skipped obamacare 5 years ago and passed medicare for all. Would have been a real simple bill.
