YOu know what is funny? If we had kicked the RINOS out, then we would have had only 51 seats, but we would have actually had majorities on committees that would vote for us.

As it is we essentially allow the democrats to have a majority on committees because we put their republicans on the committees.

Meanwhile, the Dems set up the next fight, "we need the state department to cooperate".

This will embolden others to come out of the woodwork to curry favor with those in charge, which apparently is the democrats.

Good point. That would require some political savvy and chutzpah tho.. and we are talking the Senate GOP. ;-)
