@VolbeckWasRight I agree the deal was never that close. But, if there was a $1.5 trillion “deal”, how many Senate Rs would’ve voted for it? McConnell faced a revolt on his late July $1tr proposal. I’ve always been skeptical there was ever a $1.5tr “deal” (with escalators heading to $2tr). — PolitiTweet.org
