Gee, I hope nothing bad happens to him and the Republican governor has to choose a replacement.

That would be a real shame.

[databoss]

51 seats baby.

[rwilson99]

A terrible terrible shame.

[freedomlover]

[rrrod]

A crying shame.

[Chengdu54]

Hoping the Republican governor isn’t an ass.

Watch out for Mutt, Lisa or some other Rino to switch then.

....Just to preserve the intentions of the electorate, you know

[Flick Lives]

Gee, I hope nothing bad happens to him and the Republican governor has to choose a replacement.

That would be a real shame.

I’m getting the popcorn maker out. Just in case.

Unfortunately the Republican governor up here is more like a traditional old-school Democrat. I can easily see him being pressured into appointing a Dem rather than a Repub if Leahy’s seat needs to be filled.

He’s only popular because he’s an utter milquetoast.
Any Republican he might appoint would be much like Collins of Maine, if he didn’t appoint a Dem.

Gee, I hope nothing bad happens to him and the Republican governor has to choose a replacement.

Vermont's Republican Governor (Phil Scott) called on Trump to resign after the Jan 6th Capitol riot. I wouldn't expect anything better than a Susan Collins type Republican appointment.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.
He answers prayers, too.

[spokeshave]

It’s nice to have some good news about the Borg.

[ozaukeemom]

Oh, the governor is a democrat in republican clothing. He will do whatever the uber-liberals tell him to do.

[Eleutheria5]

Imagine that. How horrible./s

[HamiltonJay]

That would be amusing, not his incapacitation or death, but all those plans and celebration of the left dashed would be amusing
