HENDERSON, Ky. — Mitch McConnell has a game plan to confront President Barack Obama with a stark choice next year: Accept bills reining in the administration’s policies or veto them and risk a government shutdown.

In an extensive interview here, the typically reserved McConnell laid out his clearest thinking yet of how he would lead the Senate if Republicans gain control of the chamber. The emerging strategy: Attach riders to spending bills that would limit Obama policies on everything from the environment to health care, consider using an arcane budget tactic to circumvent Democratic filibusters and force the president to “move to the center” if he wants to get any new legislation through Congress.

Do any of you really think McConnell would risk a government shutdown? Really? Seriously? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

I cannot believe any self-respecting reporter would write that with a straight face unless they were just being a stenographer of propaganda or worse.

This is all 100% election year bullshit coming out of this corrupt old geezers mouth. Anyone really see a shutdown happening with these impotent GOPe losers?

Just a coincidence, of course, but Mitch is running for reelection this year and, while polling shows him ahead of his Democrat opponent, it's no sure thing.

This manly, manly threat re:Obama, finally coming as it does 6 years into his reign, is just an amazing coincidence.
