I’m curious about nominees that Collins and Murkowski have voted for in the past on the democrat side.
I’m betting that their so-called standards are quite low EXCEPT when it comes to a republican nominee.
The only reason they don’t like her is she is Trump’s pick.
That and she is against the State taking over our children as young as possible.
The Federal government has NO ROLE in education.
NONE.
Best headline of the day.....now it just has to work.
If I wasn’t at work I’d pop open champagne after this vote.
The Hateful Media has been running this story for the last 24 hours and now they will shockingly report the confirmation and pronounce the end of education and that children will starve.
ha ha, the ‘rats blabbed all night for nothing!
WE all win if she passes this hurdle. I hope the obstructionists get the show on the road and allow America to get a GREAT education program going.
I have a couple of local freinds who are teachers who were spouting the liberal talking points that she was “not qualified”
I reminded them of how often they spoke about what a mess the education system was, and that was by people who were “qualified”...
But do any Freepers know her background enough to explain why Trump picked her?
I am all for her, if Trump wants her there must be a good reason- and I think school choice is enough of a reason alone.
Vice President just arrived for vote.
What a waste of time and money the Senate is. It only served a purpose when it originated as a body to represent the interest of the states, each of which appointed their senators. The direct election of senators killed its reason for existing, and now it does nothing but gum up government.
Is she for or against common core? I read she gave money to common core supporters but also read she’s against common core.
Patty Murray still in the well b**ching about DeVos. Did you every notice how fugly democrat “females” are? Patty Murray has to be Miss Democrat and Elizabeth Warren is Miss Congeniality. Did I mention how frustrated they must be?
What a laugh! How many Congressturds send their kids to government run schools?
For that matter, how many government school teachers send their kids to government schools?
“...as Democrats lose hope”
Hope is so yesterday for Democrats. They had hope, now we get change.
This was the scalp they wanted. I think the teachers unions are the #1 legal contributer to the Rats. Keeping kids in the public schools is everything. Just look how misinformed the snowflakes are. Lets hope the breach holds. Next target will be EPA.
It’s good to be hated by bad people.
The ‘Rats still have plenty of Dope though...
..Death to Common Core...
I’ve been monitoring c-span all morning, but have had to mute it as one retard leftist idiot after another rails on and on with their talking points.
I don’t care what they have to say anymore about anything. Color me closed-minded.
My teacher facebook friends are busy bees sounding the alarm at how awful she is going to be for education. I know it is all scary stuff the teacher’s unions, school administrator groups and maybe school board groups have sent out. I do not engage them. They are acting like caged wild animals a bit. I hope DeVos is confirmed and they actually see a great improvement. These groups got Teddy Kennedy’s “No Child Left Behind” and hated it. There isn’t anyone more pro teachers union than a Dem like Ted. So if they think, they would not be such puppets. Do they love common core? There wasn’t such outrage from them over that goofball Obama put in there. Seriously, they trust those group leaders and the leaders are leading them to extinction.
