Good. He'd have less power in the minority, and I never understood why the heck this guy was "Independent" in the first place since he agrees with the RATS on about 80% of the major issues (he even supports Obamacare and I haven't met any other "independents" who defend it) and I can't think of a single major GOP issue he's gone to bat for. Angus seems to be "Independent" only because he came from the private sector to run for Governor and never climbed his way up the DemonRat Party hierarchy.
On a related note, even if the GOP gets to 51 on their own, I have my doubts that phony "Independent" Orman would caucus with them as well. He'd probably only caucus with the GOP if they had some huge majority and he was desperate to get some clout in the Senate. He's just a liberal DemonRat who doesn't want to admit it.
It’s doubtful he could have won the rat gubernatorial primary in 1994 over former Governor Brennan. I think he’s gone further left since then. Didn’t he endorse Bush in 2000? Hard to believe.
He may have had a fight against the party faithful but the leadership would have 1000% supported him if he had run in the rat Senate primary in 2012. The rats gave him the Charlie Crist treatment, shunning their own nominee. I think ego is the only reason he’s wearing the false mask of an “I”.
Reince P. says Orman would not be permitted to join the GOP conference, a good campaign tactic. It’s not really his call though and if his vote were needed I’m sure he’d be courted and maybe even if it wasn’t needed, Kansas RINOs would welcome him. But he’s a rat so I don’t see it happening. But that’s all hypothetical, he must LOSE!! Go Roberts!
