Let's just not tell Mitch McConnell where he went wrong here, OK? It would be more fun that way.

Also don't tell him filibusters* work both ways. ___________________________________________ * As satisfying as turnabout-is-fair-play would be, the filibuster is wildly un-democratic. Which the Senate itself amplifies with two votes per state regardless of population.
Repealing Obamacare means a return to the old system. People with pre-existing conditions die without health insurance. Mitch McConnell is bragging about how he'll turn the Senate into a Republican Death Panel.

It's the one weird trick that gets you elected, that he doesn't want you to know about.
Unconnect the dots.
McConnellcare for all!
Good luck explaining this blatant dishonesty to the average voter. "Bofe sidez doowitt."
It's worked for 30 years so far.
I resent having to play the 'is he stupid or is he lying' game so often.
