Frankly, I’m impressed with the GOP Congressmen and Senators new found backbone, they must respect Trump and his direction and feel it’s now worth the fight.

It says Dems are concerned about”Price’s investment activity, including whether his political actions benefitted his personal portfolio.”

For the record, no such concern was raised about the fraudulent Clinton foundations and the outright selling of the SOS position to enrich themselves. Bastards.

Nice to see the GOP is finding some balls. I have no doubt this would not have occurred if Trump wasn’t president.

I likes winning!!!

I don’t remember a time when the Republicans ever played HARDBALL. It’s about time!

I was worried about this boycotting. Like when the Dems in Wisconsin fled the state... Glad to see the Pubs getting a spine...

They didn’t change the rules.

They just followed the new rules put in by the Democrats and Reid.

“By unanimous consent, the Republicans gathered in the hearing room agreed to change the committee’s standing rules, which normally require at least one member of each party to be in attendance for committee work to proceed.”

“Sounds as if Trump has made Mitch his Bitch.”

Something has happened.

Mitch had warned the Rat $inators that this would happen if they didn’t act on Trump’s nominees.

Transplants. courtesy of President Trump.

They gotta come from somewhere, and the GOPe has always been notably short in such items. The current Administration has enough for all of them.

Has McConnell grown a pair or is he more afraid of Trump than he is of Chuck Schumer?
