McConnell, who has said repeatedly only bills with support of Trump and Dems can end shutdown, says he will hold vote on Trump proposal - even though Dems are rejecting it. Everyone has made their pointnow its time to make a law. I intend to move to this legislation this week

McConnell will have to file cloture and force a vote on Trump plan, which would bring senators who are all over the country to come back to Washington. But it has little chance of getting 60 votes to proceed. McConnell has been decrying show votes for the past few weeks

(12,586 posts)All you have to do is show up and vote the way he tells you to vote, which is the way Trump wants you to vote, which is the way Putin wants you to vote.
Isn't legislating fun?

(15,696 posts)...just like Mitch in the senate hasn't brought any of the bills passed by the house.
The gander's finally getting goosed.

(35,454 posts)But what I'm wondering is if they can make changes to suit them and then the SEnate would have to meet and work out a compromise or be obligated to vote on a bill with changes they might not like.
