If Fred makes a strong statement against amnesty, he can influence the cloture vote and make himself a conservative hero. Are McConnell, Cochran and Burr willing to go against the likely GOP frontrunner in their states?
Now that I’d like to see. The day they take a vote on cloture have Thompson highlight their efforts to secure amnesty and go against the people. if he’s going to run as the anti-Washington candidate this is definitely the day and the issue to launch himself into the race.
