With Collins on board, Sessions' appointment faces a much easier path to confirmation with Senate Republicans from the Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to more independent-minded Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., all indicating their early support.
Republicans appear to have the necessary 51 votes confirm Sessions unless any new information surfaces.
Do not trust Collins, ever!
Don’t forget DEMOCRAT Manchin has also made it clear that he’s on board. The Dems are quickly running out of options to stop Sessions...and with him, their entire house of cards.
The "information" that "surfaced" (was dredged from the slime) had zero credibility and flew in the face of his actual actions.
Flake needs to removed in 2018.
Unlikely, because AZ likes Cheap Labor Express Republicans as much as South Carolina.
