you’re saying that there is no difference between flake and sinema, when there is ample evidence from just a month ago that tell us that there is indeed a very large difference. he voted to confirm, and she would have voted to burn BK at the stake.
it’s just deranged. I know people are angry, but that’s no excuse to be ridiculous. he was a very poor conservative senator, but he was a better vote than sinema will be.
and, by the way, 51 when you have 3 that are dodgy is a hell of a lot better than 50 when 3 are dodgy.
In the long run it’s better to have an Enemy who is an enemy. A Republican “friend” who is an enemy needs to be defeated. I would rather have the seat but I wouldn’t rather have Flake. I may have been more disappointed if the Senate was lost because of it but it’s not. If the option was 51 with Flake or 51 without Flake I’d take 51 without Flake and that’s what we got. Only, we got better than that. It’ll probably be 53 (if they don’t steal Mississippi and Florida). So the option becomes 51 with Flake or 53 without Flake. Now, if the question is 53 without Flake or 54 with Flake...I think I’m ok with 53 without Flake.
