...he extracted from the Republicans a promise to "take a walk" while he ran through over 100 of Obama's minor appointments that were being held up by McConnel....

okay....

Did he extract another side deal from Mitch this time too?

Don't misunderstand me...requiring a "talking filibuster" is the absolutely most desirable outcome and Harry (just as absolutely) sold us out from the beginning...but did he play "let's make a deal "with McConnell or did he just cave?
