Tom Cotton won't speculate about expelling Roy Moore if he's elected:
Washington Examiner ^ | November 19, 2017 | Kyle Feldscher

Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton refused to speculate about what the Senate should do if Roy Moore wins his Senate race in Alabama after being accused of sexually harassing and assaulting multiple women.

Cotton, a Republican, said it’s up to the people of Alabama to decide if that’s the kind of man they want representing them in the Senate.

“As far as Roy Moore goes, I'm not going to speculate about what may happen should he win. We're three weeks out from the election, he made it pretty clear this week that he's not going to step aside … it’s up to the people of Alabama to make that decision,” Cotton said on CBS’ “Face The Nation.”

National Republican Senate Committee Chairman and Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner said last week the Senate should expel Moore if he’s elected.

Cotton said that could be a possibility, but proper Senate process must be followed.

“That will be an important decision if the people of Alabama will make,” Cotton said about Moore coming to the Senate.

“Again, if he comes to the Senate because the people of Alabama elect him and someone files a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee, as they have done with Al Franken, it’s up to the Ethics Committee and all the individual senators to make a decision based on their findings and recommendations.”

Call for the expulsion of AL Franken

Never mind that.

Call for the exhumation of Edward Kennedy from Arlington National Cemetery and the dumping of his body into the water off the Dike Road Bridge, where he belongs.

If we begin expelling Senators for grabass, it won’t be long before they can’t have a quorum.

Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell’s Wife: 5 Facts You Need to Know
Also from that article, "Sadly, during Mitch McConnell’s 2014 re-election campaign, Elaine Chao faced a number of racist attacks from McConnell’s opponents. For example,Democratic Super PAC called Progress Kentucky tweeted that McConnell’s marriage to Chao could explain “why your job moved to #China”. Also, Kathy Groob, the founder of the Elect Women PAC, tweeted that McConnell was “wedded to China”, and that “she’s not from KY […] she’s from Asia”. Her tweets have since been deleted."

Wonder if McConnell ever rose above the day to day goings on in the swamp to defend his wife's honor over that? Or is he that whorishly entrenched in that swamp, or just a cuck too p*ssified to stand up for his wife?

That’s exactly what I’m getting at. Stupid ass Republicans need to learn how to go on offense. Keep the sonsabitch Fake News Media on their heels.

Yep - would be huge to try to directly shove it up the butt of a State that voted with eyes wide open and decided that is who they want....might be a flipping point ....
