“[If] we go home, we go to bed, say, ‘That’s it, we fought the good fight, it’s 10 o’clock, we’re going to call it a day,’ there’s zero chance we prevail,” Carper said.

Yes. The D’s are really making themselves look super foolish
Gee, I wonder if they’ll order pizza.
The dem action reminds of being attacked by an Apache helicopter: you can run, but you’ll only die tired.

What a flock of losers.
“Stand your ground. You’re killing me, pop.”
We need to watch to see which one volunteers to go get the “pizza”.
Welp, this is what a party that was completely routed in the election has left in its toolbox. No power = desperation.
Government issued pajamas, anybody? One size fits all.
Senate Rats need to be out in ND along with their EPA administrator buddies cleaning up after S0r0s’ protester employees. Who still need yo file their ND income taxes...
Demos have nothing to offer but bitching, moaning, rioting, lying, dividing, etc. That’s really all they offer.
indeed...politicians can often act foolishly but I’ve never witnessed such a protracted display of idiocy as with the D party hacks recently
it must be something in their vodka, or?
McConnell needs to have all Committee chair ready to move all nominees to the floor for votes as soon as the dems decided to go get a rest.
They managed to add susan collins...Ummm...never mind.

susan collins/McCain/Lindsay etal
the citizens of their states really seriously need to find new blood to send to the Senate, to retire these people asap!

Are they all going to sit down, hold hands, sing “We Shall Overcome” and take lots of selfies again?
I guess ND = North Dakota. I wouldn’t mind putting all dems there...in the winter without coats and shoes.
“bitching, moaning, rioting, lying, dividing” — a surefire plan to win lots of new votes.
