The Senate decides to go forward with a bill that will fund ObamaCare?
Has the amendment to fund it already been passed?

Yeah, hopefully it will go better. Hannity and Levin have taken this filibuster as an opportunity to pump Rubio and ignore Rand.

Well, not quite as bad, but Hannity eventually went back to the same point from the radio show earlier today that the Republicans are wimps, and the Democrats get everything they want. It was awkward again.

It was a replay, albeit a little bit more polite on Hannity's part.

Hannity asked Mike Lee the same question (I.e. Democrats are tougher, they have no fear, GOP always blinks). The difference is that he didn't badger Mike at all while he answered, and just dropped it after one question.
I don't know why he would expect Rand to bash his own colleagues. He has to be able to get along with them to get things accomplished.

Trying to set him up for future controversies. You'd never see Hannity badger his lover Rubio like that.

No he doesn't. He has to get along with the irate minority. The others are watching football or playing politics.
No, he has to get along with his fellow Republican Senators if he wants to get their support on future bills and amendments that he introduces.

Or, he can take a clue from Cruz and bring to light the crony legislative system. No more funny business, no more "cover votes".
I have long wanted, but not had the time, to put together a chart showing votes and how things get passed and who votes for what when. This newfound understanding, for me, about how cloture to end debate and what affect it has on the following amendments really changes the whole picture, again for me.

His compromise budget that raised DoD spending got 16 GOP Senators to vote with him. It's time to rethink that strategy.
18 Republicans voted for Rand's last budget, while only 7 voted for his first budget. So yes, it seems like his strategy is working. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Rand is being just being too political/politican. He needs to be more principled and fight. I loathe Hannity, but I also agree with him on this. Just think if ALL of the R's would've stayed there ALL NIGHT taking turns talking about how it's a horseshit bill. And all of them just become completely incorrigible until they get it de-funded regardless of govt shutdown. That's what Americans want to see. That's the passion Hannity was referring to. I mean, this suckers going down anyhow so WTF.

I really hate that phrase. You don't catch flies with honey, you catch them with a rotten piece of meat, and they lay their eggs there so that their maggot offspring have something to eat. And that's what is needed in our government.
Did you know that maggots will eat rotten meat but leave the good meat alone? Yep, it's a therapy for damaged muscle. And we've got some damaged muscle.
