Unless I’m missing something, 52 minus 2 equals 50 with Mike Pence being the tie breaker. Take a breath...everything is going to be okay.

There was a charming youtube video of her with McCain and Grahamn and Lieberman, meeting Muammar Qadaffi, who refused to shake her hand.

So she dropped him a curtsey

She is right up there in competition for the biggest idiot in the Senate, but its a crowded race

Thanks. With all the moaning and groaning about DeVos by the “pro-education” people I really hope she gets confirmed.

Don’t forget, we are about to get Sessions as AG (We hope). That would reduce the total to 49.

Then kick these rats off of any committees that they are on, don’t fund their campaigns, and fund primary opponents.

When will politicians care more about the abysmal state of the learning performance of children in schools, especially in minority areas, than of the votes of union-controlled educators and voters in those areas?

What a waste of young minds of the past many decades offered on the altar of progressivism!!

So I guess she’s cooked!!

If it is just those two then it is 50 vs 50 and VP Pence will cast the deciding vote.

Trump needs to call them both in and explain to them what will happen to them in their next campaign if they do this. He will fill arenas of 40,000 and tell them all to vote for their primary opponent, or, in Murkowski’s case, the Republican nominee if she tries to go write in again.

Good point. Hope a Sessions vote would come after that for DeVos.

Can they arrange the vote for De Vos before Sessions is made AG and has to leave the Senate?? What are the rules?

I believe Sessions would have to resign before he’s sworn in. Not after he’s confirmed.
