There are those who think that climate change is as big a hoax as the Russian collusion narrative has been. Or was, until Special Counsel Robert Mueller released his summary findings to the Justice Department saying there was no evidence anyone in the U.S colluded with Russia, much less Team Trump. Others think that climate change is real, a threat, and they believe in that Gospel according to Al Gore, whose carbon footprint isn’t that small. Into this marvelous Washington mix comes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the millennial congressional representative from NY who helped blow up the Amazon deal there. On a muted, mildly down day on the Dow, what the Senate vote means is our featured report this evening.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forced a vote on the Green New Deal (GND), in an effort to get Democrats on the record on this widely touted on the left piece of legislation. After a vote of 57 no’s – including 4 Democratic caucusing senators, the balance of the Democrats only voted ‘present’ to avoid being formally on the record on this matter.
But voting present is a cop-out too, as anyone with some political savvy can see. If Democrats praise this “aspirational” bill, but won’t vote for it, what does that tell the country?
The early odds, and we aren’t bookmakers – just tea leave readers – would give the 6 Senate Democrats a question mark or a check no next to their name after this duck-for-cover “present” vote.
Democrats hated the procedural vote, the GOP is loving it, but the smart money voters have just learned again what “aspirational” means in D.C. talk, it means they aren’t actually going to support a GND bill that if it somehow passed into law could wreck the economy. That bottom line is a good thing.
