    McConnel doesn't even know where he is anymore half the time. Wouldn't count on him.

    Isn't there anyone else, less on deaths door, that could do this?

      The only reason I brought him up is that he has been very vocal about the dysfunction in the house, and was working on the bipartisan senate agreement. So he’s always shown some capacity for common sense here.

      I can’t stand the dude but yeah. The most likely outcome is McCarthy is just going to be left twisting in the wind.
