Why didn’t the Turtle know about it before the vote. Didn’t he poll the Republicans before the vote count ? McConnell looks like the incompetent boob that he is.
He seems to be ignoring the female "'pub" Senators who are off the rails. Depending on McCain, with his seething hatreds, was not wise. Are they surprised McCain's hatreds overcame his loyalty to his Republican colleagues who give him so much support?
The question should be why not do something about Murkowski and Collins? Is he afraid they'll switch over to the Democratic Party? McCain will only answer to his ultimate owner whom he sold old to, and not in this earthly life. But those two? Get them in line!
You answered your own question; I can’t add a thing. :-)
