John McCain Mitch McConnell two Republican senators are saying that
there's there's no more shutdowns don't worry there won't be any more
Senate bro Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says a government
shutdown
is off the table this winter of course when there would be again the same type
of decisions to make about
funding the government and the debt ceiling so on and so forth
this statement came courtesy of National Review whom the Kentucky Republican
spoke with
to tweets were sent the same day that the government reopened
mcconnell to n are looking ahead to January and February shut down a
government shutdown is off the table
and Mitch McConnell on the prospect of another shutdown
quote we're not going to do it says other republican leaders agree
John McCain Republican from Arizona along the same lines he says he can
quote
guarantee that the government won't shut down again he said that on CNN he was
interviewed on
new day and he said people have been too traumatized by the shutdown
and the quote damage done would prevent similar incidents from happening in the
future he says we may still have gridlock
we might have continuing resolutions we're not going to shut down the
government again I guarantee it
I guarantee it Louis I'm not convinced
that either the these two guys even if these are absolutely their intentions
have enough power to make this guarantee
now I guess I would agree with them that it doesn't seem
a it doesn't seem likely right a
I think you could certainly happen it would be a not up to congress not up to
the president I mean I think
see things because seriously wrong in that could force a government shutdown
but
I'm I'm sure they have good intentions here and I'm sure they don't think it's
likely but you're right
anything can happen it's amazing because John McCain has in some way become kind
of like the voice of reason who realizes that Republicans lost on this it wasn't
a good idea nothing was achieved
and he's been kinda ostracized by some elements of the republican party
remember we talked about louie Gohmert
congressman from Texas essentially calling John McCain a terrorist
implying that is terrorist when he told the truth about the shutdown so
I believe that John McCain wants this to be the case I just question whether he
really has the power to enforce it
or I'll whether he will just become kind of this bystander relegated to the
a just just kind of marginalized within his own party
but at least it seems that McCain mcconnell learned that this was not
a good idea
