The Washington Times focuses today on the Gang of 14 — “the Mod(erate) Squad.”
Filibuster possibility is Topic A — but I still haven’t seen anyone laying out a plausible scenario that beats .the Political Math and makes filibuster a viable strategy for the Democrats.
In fact, Michael Barone, the master vote counter, laid out yesterday why the filibuster would be a very bad plan.
That doesn’t mean they won’t do it though.
“They’re in a mood to fight and, if possible, to filibuster,” said Barone.
Sometimes mood rules.
The Democrats are becoming the thing our mothers were always harping on, in that the explanation for doing something stupid, when caught, claiming in our defense that everyone else was doing the same thing.
