Senate Republicans will introduce their coronavirus relief package next week, as they work to lock down final details with the administration.

GOP senators expected to introduce the package of bills on Thursday after days of closed-door haggling amongst themselves and the White House and publicly struggling to get on the same page.

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said key senators will instead unveil it on Monday, pointing at the White House as the reason behind the delay.

"The administration has requested additional time to review the fine details, but we will be laying down this proposal early next week. We have an agreement in principle on the shape of this package," McConnell said from the Senate floor about the decision.

1. The more they can kill the better for their reelections.

Nobody now questions whether or not power is more important to a con than the life of others.

4. Let me guess.

95% to giant corporations and Friends of Trump, with the remaining crumbs to those who are just desperately hanging on?

Of course. It's the Republican Way.

7. Sounds as if no Democrats are involved with drafting this bill

I suspect this is all Republican theater. They'll add items that are anathemas to Democrats -- knowing full well they will vote against it -- giving Republicans the opportunity to blame Democrats for government's failure to act.

Republicans are unfit to govern. They do not negotiate in good faith. They've proven this time and time again.
