McConnell is now talking tough and threatening a Senate shutdown if the Dems try to eliminate the filibuster. I greatly question if he would actually do so at all. I would be even more surprised if he didn't fold a short time later if he went through with it.

Would be nice for him to actually do something useful.

If he doesn't, say hello to HR1 and possibly things like HR127.

He would.

McConnell clearly loves power. If the filibuster is removed, that power is gone. It's in his own interest to keep the filibuster.

I also think he worked out a deal with Schumer where he wouldn't cause an uproar over the election and he would sell Trump out if the filibuster stayed in place. I wouldn't be shocked if McConnell helped the two Democrats in GA steal those seats.

I think his anger is real in this and I think he got stabbed in the back by Schumer. Which he should have seen coming. And I think McConnell is serious about really fucking with Democrats with this.

It's in his own interests.
