Get Ready for a September to Remember

First Read: “Just look at what Congress (and the president) will have to deal with when Congress returns in September from its August recess. There’s the Iran deal, the Highway Trust Fund and, oh, a possible government shutdown over Planned Parenthood… This a real test for the GOP-led Congress, which has racked up some minor bipartisan victories (trade authority, Medicare doc-fix). Given that they know control both the House and Senate, Republicans won’t have Harry Reid to blame anymore.”

“Folks, this is a slow-moving train wreck about to happen. Can anyone recall House Speaker Boehner calling any Harry Reid legislation a ‘piece of shit’, as he called Mitch McConnell’s Senate highway bill? He said a lot of bad things about some Senate Democratic legislation but that harsh? Folks, this ain’t gonna be pretty. And with a handful of 2016ers in the senate needing to show spark, it will be a political September to remember.
