So Mitch McConnell introduces a movement (The grist of which scares the crap out of me because it basically would give the President unlimited power to increase the Debt Limit on his own.) with the express purpose of producing a bill that "Not even Democrats will vote for." THEN when the Damnocrats go "OH BOY!" and call for a vote, the old geezer panics and is forced to filibuster his own bill.
Now forget the idiocy of his oh so brilliant idea, let's look at the real stupidity of having a governmental style that allows the person who INTRODUCES a bill to basically cry "Backsies!" and try to block it. This isn't 2nd grade softball where you get a do over when you miss the ball. By pulling a truly stupid stunt in the first place, he was forced to make himself look like an idiot when his stunt backfired. Really smooth Mitch.
Don't get me wrong, the bill should have never been introduced in the first place. Giving either the President, House or Senate the ability to increase the debt limit (Huh since it keeps getting raised, maybe the Debt Suggestion instead?) without the express consent of the others is an insanely scary idea. Mitch should have kept his big mouth shut or at least got someone else besides himself to oppose the bill. Yes it would have looked bad to have a member of your party opposing you, but at least you wouldn't look like a moron.
