Great news out of Louisiana tonight. With 80% of the vote in, John Kennedy (R) is blowing out Foster Campbell (D) by a 64-36% margin.
Some insurance for the Republican majority and this virtually guarantees that President Elect Trump gets the Cabinet he wants.
Mc Nasty
Graham
Holding hands
McCain and Graham make it a 50-50 senate with Pence as the tie breaker.
Are those 52 with or without McCain and Graham?
He gave that up even before Trump did. You appear to be stuck.
And Trump was one of those urging Rubio to reconsider and run for re-election - likely for that reason. It’s extraordinary how clueless some choose to be.
Just curious. Why are they having this election now? Thanks.
He’s still in favor of amnesty.
“...virtually guarantees that President Elect Trump gets the Cabinet he wants.”
Graham and McCain, will form an alliance with another RINO to vote against confirmation of any cabinet member who can’t beat a filibuster.
Of course he afford any cabinet he wants from any furniture store anywhere, even very up scale ones...he's a fricken billionaire! Oh...that kind of cabinet...oh...well that's different...uhm...nevermind!
I saw Foster for the first time yesterday.....YIKERS!!! Stupid 36%.
LOL!!
Wiki:
Under Louisiana’s “jungle primary” system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party, and voters could vote for any candidate. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote during the primary election, a runoff election was held on December 10[2] between the top two candidates in the primary, Republican John Kennedy and Democrat Foster Campbell. Louisiana is the only state that has a jungle primary system (California and Washington have a similar “top two primary” system).
VERY SUSpishus that freeper goes down as N-Orleans is avotin’
Weren’t Manchin and another Dem Senator—I forget, a female from the upper West, I believe—also under consideration for appointments by Trump?
Then, of course, many more Dems than Pubs are up for reelection in 2018.
I wonder if Ayotte’s loss will chasten Collins—or just encourage her in her perfidy.
You’re right, I forgot Heidi Heitkamp D-ND. So if she and Manchin are offered and accept prominent positions in the WH, that would leave the Senate at 54-46, and the Dems would have to flip *5* GOPe Senators their way to Do The Dirty on America.
Memo to Johnnie Mcinsane: you just became a back bencher. And your little dog Lindsey too!
Big dummy.
I never told my wife FR was down, but I got a lot done anyway.
I fixed a hole in her muffler and my son and I completed a project we’ve been working n for a while.
It was a good day, albeit without FR
