Robust debate my ass. He’s going to put this in as a strike all amendment at the end of the required 20 hours of debate on a shell bill. They’ll be voting by the middle of next week unless we can steal 2 Republican Senators away,(honestly 3. If there’s a tie, Pence will vote to advance it.)
Sources close to Senator McConnell noted that his proposed robust debate will limit Democratic senators to 2 minutes each, with no amendments.

This is how GOP Senator’s have a robust debate…
You may debate until next week. But it shall be robust.
I thought that the procedure McConnell is using to avoid reconciliation comes at the cost of allowing an unlimited number of amendments.
McConnell: There will be robust debate! Each Senator will have 30 seconds to shout as many words at the podium as they can! That, my human friends, is how us Tortoise-Humans do democracy! You’re welcome.
Democrats need to fill guest seats in Congress with people who will be affected by the cuts.
“Rhonda Levine from Cape Girardeau will die if this bill passes, because…”
Is that possible?
i.e. he’s fleeing from this ASAP because he wilts under criticism. He just wants it to be over so he can continue to show how much he hates Kentucky
I was channeling Yertle the Turtle’s inner ID. In short, I made it up.
FY, Mitch - and I don’t mean “fiscal year”.
I swear he looks less and less like there’s a soul inhabiting his body every day…
“transition away from Obamacare’s collapsing system entirely so more Americans will not be hurt.”
This is how they will sell this disaster to their supporters after it passes next week. You would’ve been worse off if we left Obamacare in place because it was collapsing. We saved you. And everyone of these idiots will believe them with a, “Thank you sir may I have another.”
That suit! Mens Wearhouse or my Trump cufflinks aren’t pewter!
“Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) promised there would be ‘ample time to analyze discuss and provide thoughts’ and a ‘robust debate’ over the Better Care Reconciliation Act…”
He immediately added, "OK, time’s up, start the vote now – go!"
this guy is my candidate for the “smartest” member of HELL! Burn baby Burn McConnell hope you believe in Hell doubt it but your going there!
I think it’s from Thornton Mellon’s Tall and Fat Hindenburg line.
…with the exception of Senators Harris and Warren. They will be shut down right away.
“They can choose to keep standing by as their failing law continues to collapse and hurt more Americans, …”
“…or they can join us in passing a law that was written with the specific intention of hurting more Americans.”
