Even without VA, a likely party switch by Joe Manchin and Angus King would make +11!
Now THAT would really chap O’bastard’s a$$!
The concern-trolls would slink off until 2016 then.
Amen!
Angus King had one of the most Leftist records of any in the senate. However, McConnell might want to woo some of these weathervane, sell-out types to protect his position, punish his enemies and pick and choose the legislation that his puppet-masters (donors) really want.
So, if a fascist corporate interest wants open borders or a trade agreement that puts multi-national monopolistic interests over small business free-market interests, McConnell will be able to oblige them by recruiting a few patsies.
These sort of moves obfuscates and dilutes the efforts of real conservatives like Ted Cruz.
