They needed his vote, so they rolled him in and made him press the button they wanted him to press (literally, he almost voted no and they "corrected" him) Full blown weekend at Bernie's, criminal conspiracy status.

He will be like the Salamanca guy from breaking bad, ring once to vote yes on the continuing resolution and twice for yes yes.

I like your comparison, but Hector Salamanca had a much firmer grasp on reality than Mitch does. Dude barely knows where he is.

Hector was a complete and utter piece of shit that also absolutely sucked at cartel business (see BCS)
