Its CNN, they are kinda slow.
I just heard CNN’s Dana Bash express her brilliance in observing that independent Angus King may caucus with the Republicans (after having caucused with the Democrats in the past.) She portrayed this as a wise move on the part of King that would give him enhanced power and importance. Excuse me, Ms. Bash, but just as you didn’t see the GOP surge coming, you don’t seem to get that they now have a majority in the Senate now with room to spare. Why would a 53 or 54 seat GOP Senate concede anything to King to get an effective 54th or 55th vote? Are you nuts?
They’ve switched their attention to legalization of marijuana. That “52” is in the background.
