Gave a great speech on the floor of the Senate, but did not stick around to vote because he had a “more important” speech scheduled in New York?
I know. He has never been my first choice, but this is still worry-some to me.
That bothered me as well. But the way I am looking at it, ten Republicans voted for her, and I am sure he knew it wasn’t going to be close. There was no need to hang around and play the game. I think leaving shows disgust with the current leadership.
Bothers me. But just a little. The Gang of Six was determined to vote for The Woman of Color to prove that they are not "Racist," or "Patriarchal."
: Kelly Ayotte, (N.H.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (Ohio), and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
Repeal the 17th and these corrupt scumknuckles might well disappear.

Cruz voted against cloture, trying to stop the nomination dead in its tracks. When cloture failed, it was a foregone conclusion that Lynch would be confirmed. This was McConnell’s plan all along. A number of Republicans crossed over to vote for cloture, to ensure that Lynch would be confirmed, then—having insured her confirmation—voted a “show vote” against her. Maybe that will fool some of the yokels back home. After all, it’s a time honored bit of chicanery for the Senate (particularly Republicans).
