(CNN)Senate Democrats said they plan to hold the floor of the chamber for the next 24 hours, leading up to the vote to confirm President Donald Trump's choice to be education secretary, in hopes of drawing enough attention to the issue to derail Betsy DeVos' nomination.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Any Repub who wimps out now, after the Collins/Murkowski defections, causing DeVos to not be confirmed, is going to be politically drawn & quartered.
Resistance is futile kind...
FLINCH McCONNELL is hard at work doing as possible to defend President Trump,.......time to nuke every delayed nominee so that the legally elected President has a team around him.....
... already the demoncrats are whispering impeachment because Trump has no team of Cabinet appointees to defend him....the GOPe is allowing the ‘king’ to be exposed to numerous ‘pawn’ threats.....either Flinch & Cry’’n Ryan are dragging the process out for their own purposes or the have no fighting skills
Who cares? No one is listening to them. After the next 2 elections there will be even FEWER Dems to not listen to.
We’ve GOT TO TAKE BACK EDUCATION.
Left is using it to brainwash children.
As icing on the cake, DeVos is associated with anti-global warming advocacy!
You forgot one...spit on them after you do all that.
What are they going to say: “Don’t vote for her because the money from the NEA will stop flowing into our coffers?”
Obama’s first SOE came from Chicago where 45% of Graduating High School Seniors could not read at an 8th Grade level.
The High School Dropout rate was ridiculous as well.
No wonder she is so feared.
I don’t believe there was a Dept of Education until Jimma Carter. 40 years of destroying education.
Late night shenanigans, selfies in PJ’s, pizza party, sleep on the floor, we’ve seen it all before........same old same old.................
All of this proves how critical the teachers Union and the ability to indoctrinate and brain wash the kids is to the leftist agenda.
It also proves why we must figure out a way to dissolve that Union and all government Unions. Gov Unions work against the interests of the nation since they are hotbeds of leftism.
Betsy could simply say "I won't lot that happen!"
Can we hope for a Moosie attack on thes liars and obstructionists ?...
McCain and Graham are both close friends of Joe Lieberman, who gave Devos a very strong, public endorsement. Otherwise I’d be worried too, but for this reason I think we can count on their support.
Brilliant! I like it!
they wanted R’s to “fairly consider” O’s court nominee...
(even though they themselves, led by Biden, refused that courtesy for a prior R-nominee)
and now they refuse to even consider DJT’s nominees fairly (and of them)
Damn good point!
Anyone thinking the Supreme battle won’t be worse?
Pray America woke
I'm a recently retired 30 year teacher and I agree. Never once in my 30 years did I ever hear a coworker or administrator praise the federal DOE; most often it was the opposite. Now they are all out defending the status quo they use to rail against.
