So there are 48 blue colored liberals, and what, maybe 5 (Collins, Corker, McCain, Graham, Sasse) blue colored liberals, leaving only 47 conservatives in the Senate to pass legislation.
My girlfriend and I were talking yesterday as we were riding down the road. She asked me about an article she saw on Facebook. I was explaining what was going on. Now, bear in mind, she is a LEGAL immigrant from another country. She stopped me and said “Wait.... Wait. Paul Ryan is a Republican? I couldn’t tell from his actions. I thought he was a Democrat. It made it strange for me when you had 2 democrats running against Obama and Biden.” I nearly choked. She’s here from another country, and literally, by looking at what they do, and not the reports, she was convinced that the Democrats had two groups running for President and the Republicans had given up.
