As I said earlier, I don’t get why any Dems would see this as an “evil genius” move on McConnell’s part. Unless of course you’re inherently afraid of facing the voters with what you actually think is the best policy for the country (not a hypothetical for many Democrats). My take though is that it’s not evil genius at all. It’s hitting the escape hatch. It looks on the surface like it’s terrible politics for the Democrats but only if you never leave the DC bubble. Also, it will explode the American right. For all these reasons, I very much doubt this McConnell plan will go anywhere because it will help the Dems and spur blood-letting of unparalleled proportions in the GOP.
But we’ll see soon enough, won’t we?
