This is the Tom Hartman program.

Well greetings my friends, patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice, believers

and peace, freedom and the American way Tom Hartman here with you.

I have a huge question and it's a really important one and I'd love to hear your opinions

on this.

Why is Mitch McConnell a master politician this guy?

He's been the most powerful Republican in the United States, Senate, the United States,

Senate, arguably the most meaningful center of power in the United States government outside

of the White House.

Why is this guy a lifelong politician, a master tactician making such a huge mistake?

And let me lay this out for you.

I've got a theory.

I've got actually two possibilities, maybe three and it's going to take me a little bit

to get through this but follow along because I think there's a whole lot of stuff that

hangs on this.

Why is it that Mitch McConnell has come right out and said just like he did with the American

recovery plan, the COVID relief plan, he said, you know, you're not going to have any

Republican votes.

And so what did Biden and the Democrats do?

They put all kinds of cool stuff in there that they probably wouldn't have put in if they

had had to compromise to get Republican votes like, for example, like Barack Obama had to

do back in 2009.
