Hot Mic Catches Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul Scheming



Here's the transcript, notice the focus on principle:

PAUL: I just did CNN, and I just go over and over again: "We're willing to compromise! We're willing to negotiate.!" I don't think they poll tested "we won't negotiate." I think it's awful for [Democrats] to say that over and over again.

MCCONNELL: Yeah, I do too and I, and I just came back from that two hour meeting with them and that, and that was basically the same view privately as it was publicly.

PAUL: I think if we keep saying, "We wanted to defund it. We fought for that and that we're willing to compromise on this," I think they can't, we're gonna, I think... well, I know we don't want to be here, but we're gonna win this, I think.
