At this point, we should probably be running out the clock.

Don’t know whether it makes sense to approve some to avoid others. Or whether it makes sense to just delay as long as possible.

Who is the democrat equivalent of john McCain?

Who is the democrat who routinely chastises is own party, crosses the isle and works with the GOP to give them everything they want for zero in return?
