If you were looking for a no compromise, take no prisoners, combative, ideologue to sit on a bi-partisan panel to work out a partisan deal who would be better that Pat Toomey?
Republicans gave up nothing and gained everything in the last “deal”, and did so by being so tough they would not blink at disaster in order to win. So Toomey is just the person we need. Atta Boy Mitch. Get all you want or burn the house down.
That is statesmanship today and just the kind of bloodbath so many people seem to be wishing for. A new religious war. A new Civil war. Good against evil! Too bad its all beside the point. No jobs will come from it, and between now and Thanksgiving we will sink deeper into oblivion while this tragic circus continues.
