The vote 'present' shows indifference. If a bill doesn't have what you like in it, you vote against it, EVEN IF IT CONTAINS ITEMS YOU SUPPORT. How many times have we seen this on the national stage?

The fundamental reason for having elected officials is to make the tough decisions.

Rudy was all over this during his speech. I loved when he talked about the fact that, as mayor, a vote of present was not an option. He was thoroughly enjoying himself, almost laughing out loud at the thought!

In all positions of oversight, it’s a given that one is “present”. What is sought for/expected is leadership and the ability to make decisions. Zero’s record includes a rather extensive list of times he was unable to do this, yet they think he can lead.

Rudy was right to suggest that Zero’s record is, indeed, laughable.
