PUBLIC opinion halftime score
Democrats 34
Republicans 7
Let’s see if the Republicans can adjust their strategy over lunch.
If not this game Will definitely get away from them.
Perhaps it’s time for a quarterback change?
There is no defense and the offenses not scoring points
David - take a deep breath. Just breathe.
This is a circus and most sane people view it as such. It will not change the hyperbole in the media one bit. It is political theater and you are falling into the trap of thinking this carries more weight than it does.
She is not very convincing, but that won’t change the opinion of the punditry class. The only thing that matters in this whole thing is that Mitch is very angry over this whole thing and he obviously believes he has the votes. That is all that counts - the left needed to break way Collins, Murkowski, and Flake and it appears that even they are upset over how unfair and manipulated this whole process has been. Those were the only three votes that counted and if they do not fold, it will open the door for a few democrat senators up for election in Trump states to vote for him also.
I have seen NOTHING today that changes that equation.
But the only thing that really matters today is what the three or four shaky Republican senators decide, and maybe two or three Dims in red states are still a possible yes votes.
What happens today and how the Republicans evaluate the even more recent last minute accusations (and complete lack of real evidence) will decide it.
