McConnell is a shrewd negotiator so I assume he is using the bankruptcy position to win concessions on rescuing the oil and energy industry. Otherwise there will be a handful of Republican states facing their own bankruptcies.

Trump is just a spiteful moron but not even he would let New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota, Alaska, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas all fail.

No, but he'd let New Mexico fail (it's blue) and ram through a bailout for the rest out of political patronage, and the legislature would go along with it, since the Democrats seem to be allergic to actually opposing Trump policies.

Is Louisiana blue enough for him? No wonder JBE is hightailing it to the White House to kowtow.
