I think the Republican Senators will speak out in the days ahead. Timing is everything. If they all came out in the first 24 hours they would have no political capital left if the thing is drawn out.
Better strategy to let the Dems' words of support out first IMO.
Ok, we'll see. I hope you're right. I'm getting a bit since I hit 50 but I haven't reached the stage of crotchety old bastard yet.
