GOP Senator McConnell: Not raising the debt ceiling is not being discussed

[^_^ 5,021]

If not raising the ceiling is not considered an option, then why all the negotiations? If the ceiling is going to be raised anyway, why would the Democrats concede any kind of cuts at all?

McConnell is a poor negotiator.

Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell discussed the debt ceiling negotiations with Bret Baier on Fox News Sunday.

...

Baier, filling in for Chris Wallace, pressed McConnell on what would happen if no deal could be worked out and whether he was concerned with the consequences of what might happen if the debt ceiling is not raised. McConnell confidently responded, “nobody is talking about not raising the debt ceiling. I haven’t heard that discussed by anybody.” Yet Baier informed him that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, among others, have explicitly said just that.

“nobody is talking about not raising the debt ceiling. I haven’t heard that discussed by anybody.”

Why does McConnell call viable GOP Presidential candidates and Sen. Jim DeMint, among others, nobody? Does the man have no respect for his fellow Republicans?

Was that the change Obama was talking about?
