The Republican-led lame-duck House is still out until tomorrow afternoon, and Speaker Paul Ryan seems to be more interested in polishing the turd of his "legacy" than actually doing anything to avert a government shutdown. Individual 1 is melting down on Twitter over the WITCH HUNT, occasionally throwing in a WALL, and the Senate, well, here's the number 2 guy Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) with NBC reporter Marianna Sotomayor.
Q: Are we avoiding a shutdown?
CORNYN: No... I take that back. If there is, I’m not aware of it.
Q: Is there a sense of where the president wants to go?
CORNYN: No.
Q: Why not?
CORNYN: He hasn’t told us.
Q: What are the chances of a shutdown at this point?
CORNYN: I think it will all work out, but I don’t know of any specific plan yet.
Q: Short term [continuing resolution]?
CORNYN: Well, I’ve heard that mentioned, but I don’t think the president will accept that. So he would have to sign it or it would have to be passed over his veto.
Q: You don’t know what the president wants?
CORNYN: Well, he wants a wall.
"I think it will all work out, but I don't know of any specific plan yet" should be the new GOP motto.
Helluva way to run a government. Just wing it.
