Of course The Hill is talking about finding another R to vote against her.
But, where is the talk about which single D would be reasonable enough to vote FOR her?
They should be shocked that not one D would vote for the needed change to the current Ed. bureaucracy.

Not even Manchin of WV. Surprised on that one. Thought he had some sense.

You caucus with the likes of Schumer, Warren, Booker, Sanders, Feinstein et al. Your new national committee leader is going to be a racist moslem. You voted for Hillary. You are a Democrat.
You expect him to have sense?

Given the intense opposition, it is for certain the woman must be good for the job.

You have apparently missed all the talk of Manchin being at odds with his fellow Dems. Almost to the point of switching sides.

Manchin is a big booster of “public schools” in a state with much poverty.

When I hear him, he doesn’t actually sound like he isn’t an ordinary Democrat
He is still the enemy, he doesn’t have the interests of his dying state at heart

Really?? she seems pretty under qualified to me... Better than one of zero’s picks for sure, but compared to the others... I dont get this one at all. She doesnt seem all that bright.

I don’t like the idea of vouchers. It’s a back door for the fedgov to enter private and parochial schools. Charters are the only way to go. They are public schools.

I haven’t missed it. What is he waiting for?
To: abb
They need to speed up these votes so we can get sessions into his position
To: donozark
Manchin is trying to save his seat in the Senate.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.

Well, Manchin did vote to confirm Tillerson for Sec. of State. One of only 3 Dems to do so.

He’ll vote for her if his vote is needed.
