Good strategy. Problem is, they’re not ashamed they’re RINOs.

Somebody with courage! Make them get the 60 for cloture and put them all on the record.

Lee’s doing a good job endorsing candidates for the senate next year.

That’s funny.

All McConnell needs is 7 rinos. That’ll be easy to find.

he is..and I wonder if he is letting Lee take the reins for the future...

have no clue what is going on with him...

Or..maybe Lee is willing to take the fall in case something bad happens during that filibuster.

in any case...God Bless Lee . Hold the Line.

Glad to see it.

The Republican he replaced would have gone along with the pack.

But what if a Bernie Sanders and some of the other ultra-lefty commies vote against cloture because the bill doesn’t raise taxes? It could very well fail in the Senate.

Exactly. It’s not a seven RINO thing.

It’s 20 conservative Republicans and 20 far left liberals who could stop it.
