Remember when McConnell refused to support House efforts to defund Obamacare by sending separate funding bills to the Senate to keep the government open?
McConnell Shoots Down Ted Cruz’s Plan To Risk Shutdown Over Obamacare
All your example are good, and angering to me as well.
But Grimes would not have supported with Cruz either on the issue you highlight, nor on any issue.
On the other hand, McConnell and Cruz will be aligned on some important issues, e.g. fracking, oil pipelines and other issues Democrats oppose across the board, but even GOP-e support.
So support for her, or any Dem is irrational.
Wanting to depose and marginalize McConnell is quite rational and worthy. But giving his seat to a leftist is not how to do it.
That hurts us In the long run more than it hurts McConnell.
Bevin lost. It was good of him to try, but he didn’t have what it took.
Lashing out, and harming ourselves by creating another seat for a leftist liberal is not the response.
yep, you should sit down.
Keystone XL Pipeline Deadline Pushed by 11 Senate Democrats
Democratic senators who favor completing the Keystone XL pipeline, including some of the party's most vulnerable senators up for re-election, are once again prodding the White House to make up its mind. ...Democratic Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Mark Warner of Virginia, Kay Hagan of North Carolina joined Montana Democrats Jon Tester and John Walsh in signing on to the letter with Heitkamp and Landrieu.
Remember when Scott Brown said that he would be the 40th vote to block Obamacare? That mattered.
If we seriously think that the Senate would go 50-50 if McConnell loses, that would matter too.
But if the Senate goes 54-46, then I can live with 53-47 if means a Senate without Mitch McConnell.
I'll even take 52-48. 51-49 gets into dangerous territory because of the Jeffords flip.
So, what's your prediction of the GOP margin in the Senate?
