Two Republican senators — Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — said Tuesday they are not yet committed to voting for Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos for U.S. education secretary on the Senate floor.

"Nevertheless her concentration on charter schools and vouchers raises the question of whether or not she fully appreciates that the secretary of education’s primary focus must be on helping states and communities, parents, teachers, school board members and administrators strengthen our public schools." . . . Senator Susan Collins
Murkowski expressed concern about DeVos’s emphasis on school choice, which is difficult if not impossible to implement in rural areas which dominate Alaska. She said thousands of Alaskans have visited her offices and called and sent messages expressing concern about DeVos.
These two are jealous, bottom line!!!
Yeah, The Washington Post's fantasizing. They're going to lose again; all of Donald Trump's cabinet picks will be confirmed.
“But some of that Amway loot might persuade us.”
Rhinoceros? Preposterous!
Two more palms that need greasing.
Constituents should read these old bags the riot act.
Dang....I am in disbelief that these two won’t vote for her. Disbelief I tell ya!
Neither bothered by conscience or sense of family, one suspects.
Natch.

These two just have to act like AO's.
It is their nature.
