Yawn.
Tell this “Independent” POS to go PLAY W/ HIMSELF!
Go Away Angus..y’er a moron.
I wouldn’t trust this guy any further than I can spit.
upside is both king and manchin switching.
makes a majority easier but we want actual conservative senators
there are some here who would prefer king and manchin stay dem.
Uh huh. I guess he wants to be number three on a Mount Rushmore of Maine RINO’s?
If Republicans do manage a takeover and McConnell survives and this dude caucuses with Republicans, MushyMitch will likely give Angus a committee chairmanship over a Ted Cruz or Tim Scott.
He’s a commie. Just flexible to have power.
Anus King=political opportunist. Just taking a leaf from the Southern RAT playbook. It’s more fun to be in the majority, so just switch parties when the leadership changes. Tells you all you need to know about old Anus.
He’s pulling the democrats’ chain in order to get something he wants. No one believes he’d ever agree with any republican positions.
This guy is an A-HOLE liberal...PERIOD!
Posturing.
Win it by 6, woo the independents to caucus with you. When they balk at ideas, go tell them to pound sand, as they are not needed. Not very productive; seems it would be very satisfying, though.
Independents ALWAYS play this game.
Caucus with the party in the majority. Otherwise be frozen out of all influence or relevant committee assignments.
Does not mean he will vote with the GOP even half the time.
I agree. The future shouldn’t rely on whether a flip-flopper from Maine is getting enough highway money. The GOP should focus on winning 6+ seats. Conversions are nice but it takes a long time too trust one. Would you give a junkie access to a cash register a day after rehab? I didn’t think so :)
His voting record leans left.
The letter designation for the senator should be changed from “I” to “O”, as in “Opportunist”. That being said, there are advantages to caucusing with the majority in power. So if I was a resident of Maine this would not upset me too much.
“Independents ALWAYS play this game.”
Absolutely! If he had any integrity and sincerity he’d switch right now, not after the 2014 elections.
I just fervently hope that we don’t wind up with a 50-50 split in the Senate, and it hall hangs on the Anus guy. I’m sure we all fondly remember Jim Jeffords of Vermont fame.
Not unlike Olympia caucusing with the Republicans.....
