Thanks, political geniuses at NRA!

It's not like you didn't have a principled alternative.

did she, really? she agreed to vote "present" instead of "no" which helps here save face in her home district(largely dems) yet not hurt kav's confirmation.

"While I voted no on cloture today, and I will be a no tomorrow, I will, in the final tally, be asked to be recorded as 'present,'" she said.The procedure is called a “pair between senators,” according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office. The senator who is on Capitol Hill would announce how the absent senator would have voted, and the present senator would announce they voted in the opposite way, but that vote is withdrawn and they are recorded as present, according to McConnell’s office.

No mercy for traitors.

In any event, the epitome of an a-hole RINO, of the most contemptible sort. I am glad that we are done of her, and can get back to re-establishing this most magnificent Republic. You know, because I really like doing that. It's a good thing, this wonderful country of mine.
And as for that Codrea fellow, he's worth his weight in salt and then some. Still, too few of his sort about these days, but Trump is working on that, and effectively. We need a thousand Codreas, and you know, they are already on their way. They really are, on the way, because . . . Trump, and David Codrea.
