all this inside politics. i m fining it hard to follow here. didn t mitch mcconnell vote no on this budget and yet that helps him? yeah. i think it everyone expected him to vote no, and he did. it does help him because he is facing a primary challenger. he has to really the worst of all worlds, primary challenge and he has a general election challenge, where other republican senators, like ma mar alexander, that cochran, once they get by the primary they re going to win re-election. mcconnell has to worry about both. so he went no on this budget deal because it breaks the caps put into effect by the put control act, aisle e, the sequester. it s fascinating. most of the country is saying, thank heavens we re not going to shut the government down. here s inside politics which, again, makes my head spin. thank you very much for explaining it all. we expert that. thank you.
