interested with the details in law making than the press it receives. you saw chuck schumer basically do a wind sprint to the camera tolls crow about his big victory meanwhile the senate majority leader is writing a plan that deleverages what could have been a real catastrophic leverage point for republicans in december. i mean, the reason that conservatives were upset with the deal that president trump made is because it set up a time line in december where democrats could extract real, significant liberal priorities from republicans. melissa: that s one way to look at it although it could be just trying to put a good face on something that happened. let s listen to what mitch mcconnell said. let s put it this way, the deal is not quite as good as my counterparts thought it was. it does not prevent extraordinary measures. and i think i can safely say that the debt ceiling and the spending issue in december will be decoupled
