What funny to me about the story is mcConnell playing his own party against each other and the tweets showing party members in disbelief.

This reminds me of being a kid watching those Sunday evening nature shows ... want to understand but uncomfortable it's really gory the fact animals eat each other while at the same time disturbed by wanting to know why and not be able to look away while learning.

McConnell sure as hell will work to make sure the Medicaid cuts go into effect as planned. As a matter of fact, if republicans seem to have solid control of Congress, he will work to make them take effect sooner.
