McCaskill: Dem proposal has no shot of passing

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., advocated both jobs spending bills and spending cuts in a Morning Joe interview today during which she discussed the political value of voting on a bill that has no chance of passing the Senate.

McCaskill, a vulnerable Democrat seeking reelection, answered with a flat “no” when asked if a proposal to spend $60 billion on infrastructure spending would pass the Senate today. “So what are we doing here?” asked Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinksi.
