McConnell Will Try to Get Senators to Yes

“As he prepares to guide Republicans out of the wilderness of the Senate minority, Senator Mitch McConnell, the incoming majority leader, knows his real problem is not corralling mavericks in his party like Senator Ted Cruz. It is persuading other Senate Republicans conditioned to voting no that it is time to vote yes,” the New York Times reports.

Said McConnell: “One of my challenges is to try to convince some of my members that passing an appropriations bill is a good thing, not a bad thing.”
