Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul get caught on an open microphone talking media strategy for the shutdown. Good thing they have a plan to "win" this shutdown!!
Rand Paul: "I just did CNN and I just go over and over again 'We're willing to compromise. We're willing to negotiate.' I think... 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,"
Rand 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."

gharksays...I don't think it's news that this is just a game played by both parties, but it's funny/sad to see it admitted in such a manner.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to TheFreak's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
