I still think he is privately bluffing, but imagine playing the "I will blow all of it up" card for... what does McConnell even want, the Dems not to pass their very weak $3.5T infrastructure bill?

    What he wants is very banal, it's merely to stop the Democrats from getting a political win.

      Yeah he's simple to understand once you realize that the smokescreens he puts up are just that. He wants to acquire and exercise power and prevent the Democrats from doing so. Everything follows from that.

        He said it during the Obama years and it worked. McConnel was pretty open about wanting to shut down literally anything Obama tried to pass.
