In reply to the discussion: Politicususa: Proposed Senate Debt Ceiling Deal Is a Complete Crushing of the Republican Party [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)22. Uh....I'm not arguing against you.
I'm explaining the mechanism by which Capt. Orange will bring to a vote despite it being the same deal he has rejected for two weeks.
He'll declare it something new and bring it to a vote, passing it mostly with Democratic votes. Just like he could have passed a "clean" CR two weeks ago. But this one's new (and his ass is currently in his hand), so he'll bring it to a vote.

A "deal" in the Senate can give Capt. Orange cover for bringing it to a vote. (nt)

OK. The "Hastert Rule" would be at stake in any case where a majority of the GOP was not certain.
