Let’s exchange Rand Paul for Fetterman. I don’t care about abortion any more.
There are times for being a maverick, and there are times for being a team player. Rand sucks when it comes to the latter.
“Go along to get along”
It’s all the rage these days
"Johnson said members should begin returning to Washington 'right now' in anticipation of a vote later this week." Tomorrow, Veteran's Day is a Federal holiday. They'll drag their feet coming back.
What did Rand accomplish? What did he hope to accompalish? I know that he’s been high on his own supply about wanting KY farmers being able to grow THC-laden hemp, but every senator has his pet causes too. Why is Rand so special?
The shortest estimate was the time it takes the Senate to send the bill to them.
When was the last time republicans won a shutdown standoff? Can’t remember once.
He was on the floor talking about, get this, marijuana....
I have to admit that this surprised me.
I expected the Democrats to return to the fold on the final vote because their vote was no longer required. The Democrats could honestly go back to their constituents and say that they voted against the CR, and when pressed they could say that they were for Senate procedures but against the bill itself.
To many, it's a distinction without a difference, but it's a move that's been done many times before when history only remembers the final roll call, not the procedural votes that precede it.
Now, these eight Democrat Senators are forever marked as collaborating with the enemy. On the other hand, politicos like the members of the Senate know that the damage was done by the cloture vote, so these eight Democrats might have been thinking "in for a penny, in for a pound" at this point.

“Now, these eight Democrat Senators are forever marked as collaborating with the enemy.”
Very brave if them.
Good thing none live in MN.
Timmy Tampon would have them shot.
“Go along to get along” ain’t new in D.C. It’s been going on for a very long time.
I believe most of the 8 are not running again.
We’ll know what the GOPe gave up by the end of the day, perhaps a year of KenyanKare subsidies or something like that.
You might get an argument from an unborn child in the womb.
4000 folks that they fired AFTER the shutdown started. Earlier ones were still gone.
I don't follow democrat politics all that much, but I think the dems picked those senators because they either aren't running for reelection or don't live in terribly progressive states.
They had to end the shutdown for air safety, getting federal workers paychecks and etc. Schumer didn't have any backing from the gov unions and the American people. ~70% of people want illegals gone, so demanding illegals get healthcare funding was a losing cause.
“I think the dems picked those senators because they either aren’t running for reelection “
Probably so. I suspect the only true believer in ending the shutdown is Fetterman. The rest of ‘em ... pffft!
