You also think about some of the stuff McConnell said today, using "we might be able to legislate our own ideas too" as a kind of threat. He should be able to legislate his ideas! And he should be trying to convince people his ideas are good!

Democrats need to treat this relief package (and their legislative agenda) the way McConnell treats Supreme Court nominations: you do what needs to be done to get it done.
The American people chose to retire four Republican Senators and elect a Democratic majority to this Senate. Senator McConnell’s proposal for how to organize the Senate is unacceptable—and it won’t be accepted.
All of a sudden Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are worried that someone in America might get a $2,000 check "who doesn't need it." Funny. They had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion. What hypocrisy!
All of a sudden, mcconnell'>Mitch McConnell is "worried" about giving a $2,000 check to someone who "doesn't need it." That's funny. He had no problem giving a $560 million tax break to Sheldon Adelson who is worth $34.3 billion. Total hypocrisy! Let the Senate vote on $2,000 now, Mitch!
Bernie Sanders just stuffed mcconnell'>Mitch McConnell in a locker. “Let me just make it clear for the majority leader — that 10 out of the poorest 25 counties in the US are located in Kentucky.”
Trump's allies slam mcconnell'>Mitch McConnell for congratulating Biden via . Mitch, 75,000,000 @mailonlinees '>VO @MailOnlineES , a record for a sitting President (by a lot). Too soon to give up. Republican Party must finally learn to fight. People are angry!
