Question will be if Mitch forces a vote. Portman will have no choice, Yea or Nay, what’s gonna be Rob? No vote is a Nay in my book
Mitch doesn’t like to force losing votes, but on this one he might roll the dice. *IF* the nominee gets out of committee.
Portman seems to have been a pretty useless backbencher. Trouble is, Ohio gop has had it so good for so long they have gotten fat and lazy.
