the deficit. he was given everything but the president and mitch mcconnell to be that 51st vote. that s same on him. that s not even about politics anymore. we re talking about being a good human being. and the senator who made a resolution in utah, if this is their biggest agenda, you know, again enough with the political crap that spews out of washington, d.c. to mainstream america. mitch mcconnell, rand paul, mike lee, ted cruz, johnny isaacson, all of the others who were against this, they work for us. and what we re doing now is making the process work. what we always wanted, alyson, we always wanted a straight up and down bullet on the floor. we didn t get that in 2010 or 2015. now this bill heads to the
