McConnell says there is 'zero chance' Congress will fail to raise debt ceiling

[procon]

2. McConnell doesn't control the House. No one can curb those members of the

Tea Party, Freedom and Liberty caucuses and they oppose raising the debt ceiling, and damned the U.S. Treasury for the US defaulting. Republicans have been railing against the possibility of a even passing a “clean” debt ceiling increase because they want attach some of their pet projects. Its probably the only way they could ever pass some of the radical policies they want.

Republicans will need support from Democrats to pass the legislation. Since Trump and his minions have been so nice to the Dem, that should be a cakewalk for the Greatest Dealmaker of All Time.
