If Kevin "wins" on this "deal," he will be so absurdly weak it's hard to believe he's bothering.
@Idissent R incompetence has its electoral upsides.
@RationalLeft And, of course, they adjourned. He *wasn't* elected tonight.
@LiberalLibrarian Yes, I noticed that.
And even these stories are warning Kevin is toast if the "deal" doesn't gain him enough.
@RationalLeft I personally don't believe he has cut the number of deals as they say. If he did, someone would have flipped. Instead, he lost more votes today than the previous 3 days. @LiberalLibrarian
@Rstrahs @LiberalLibrarian They have *something* on paper - but it's an open question whether it will really gain him much.
They were talking about electing him tonight... And now they're adjourning until tomorrow.
@RationalLeft I am at the point of I won't believe it until I see it. They said they had deals this morning before he lost vote after vote. @LiberalLibrarian
@Rstrahs @LiberalLibrarian And you're right to be skeptical. Even if there is a deal, it's clearly not succeeding as much or as quickly as Rs hoped, and clearly they're not even sure it can move enough votes to help.
@RationalLeft
This is not going to turn out well for any of us
