Still need one more. She's still confirmed as of now with 50+Pence.

 

These were the two I had as most likely...Heller is another. Not sure why people aren't putting more pressure on Toomey, I guess since he just won in a state that turned red.

 

I know?

 

My bad, I'm just not as optimistic as that guy. Didn't mean to sound combative.

 

Imagine the meltdown Trump will have if anyone isn't confirmed, in addition to them being nightmares

 

Gee wouldn't it be nice if the Dems didn't screw the pooch that on Wisconsin senate rate about now?

Next four years would be so much more manageable if we didn't need to flip 3 sens.

 

I think Flake is the other to pressure. Heller and Flake need all the calls.

 

Idk about Flake yet....Arizona seems just far enough away from turning purple. And now with Trump I fear some of those demos might start changing.

 

He's gonna have a tough race in 2018.

 

Do the Dems have an ace in the hole down there? Clinton's campaign put in good work down there and still were a bunch of points short, feel like a sitting senator would be even tougher

 

Vote against Sessions too. And flip votes here too.

 

That actually feels low

 

I mean, are we considering in this evaluation of the Democrats the moralizing over the use of the filibuster, over blanket opposition to all Trump appointees not to mention policy, the recently quoted rhetoric about not falling to the demands of radical protesters? Useless might be hyperbole but these things deserve harsh criticism

 

Murkowski is the worst. The "Alaska exception" she put into the violence against women act is unforgivable....but a broken clock and all that.

 

I can name 10-15 Dems at least that have said they'd filibuster. I saw some unsourced quotes and theories from reporters saying anyone was moralizing over it. And if you think I trust fucking Marco Rubio then well

 

Useless seems to be a perfectly reasonable description actually.
