Yay! She did something right for a change!
Paging Senator Manchin——The Last Re-election train leaves for DC tomorrow.
Or for Mittens to go back on his previous yea and vote no.
She can read tea leaves.
Maybe they took my advice and just paid her more than the Democrats.
Yes, sometimes he piles on when it doesn’t matter.
Murkowski appears to have somehow extracted her hotel from her alpha. I wonder if she had some help.
Murkey is a real piece of work.
They had to pull pretty hard.
Does Collins have a real strategery?
I’m rather surprised she came along and played well politically
Has Collins EVER had a real belief in her life she stands for NOTHING ever!!!
WV voters had their chance in 2018, and they reelected Manchin. He will vote however Schumer tells him to.
I can blame her if she does: pain in the butt that she did, supposedly it’s her standing by Kavanaugh that has put her in danger. We need her to keep her seats. She’s a POS, but she’s our POS and We desperately need to retain the majority
Cmon man lol
I figure behind the scenes they figured out they had the votes without Collins, so she could vote “no”, I think if they really needed her to vote “yes” she would have.
