She’s bad, but not as bad as MooCowSki.

She voted for Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. She’s wobbly, but a heck of a lot better than a “D.”

“The Maine Republican”

If I wanted to keep a seat at this point I would stop calling myself by this despicable term and call myself a conservative instead. I would also vote a conservative agenda. Of course there is the problem that I wouldn’t know who would give my profitable stock tips and after all anyone who runs for publc office for any other reason than personal enrichment is a fool.

MooCowSki isn’t up until 2022, but THOM and Suzie are up next year. The open question is, will Trump help a non-incumbent take these seats? We’d better start getting rid of the RINOs while we have the Presidency, but unfortunately, in the Senate, about half of the current “Repubicans” need to be replaced. These three are just the worst of the lot. Personally, I’m ready for a new Party, but I doubt that that is in the cards.

The real masses pay attention in their own panorama. There is a media narrative and a real narrative. Woe to those who go indifferent to the reality of each.

She voted for Kavanaugh, but that was based on her belief that Kavanaugh wouldn’t rule to overturn Roe v. Wade.

That was Scott Pruitt, Trump's greatest pick. When he wasn't rolling back CAFE standards he was blowing through the EPA's budget going to football games and buying soundproof phone booths. Liberals believed this was money that should've been spent on enforcing of the economy-crushing environmental regulations that they forced upon us.

With butthurt liberals having a tantrum, Trump nudged Pruitt towards resignation.

These worms are never going to risk political suicide. The voters of Alaska, Maine, and North Carolina are not going to turn them out for voting against Trump.
