I got out my calculator and it tells me that when you add 1 VP vote to 50 Senator votes you end up with FIFTY ONE VOTES!!!!

said Whitaker's "well-documented hostility" toward Mueller's probe

vs their "well-documented hostility" towards President Trump??

They’re not confused...they’re effing stupid.

They don't need logic or legitimacy. They have the media. All they need are soundbites that the hosts can use to moan and groan about fairness and rigged processes and bias and all that.

They don't actually expect the GOP to roll, but they'll get to drive the news cycle by making this request.

It’s all that they do. All the Left has ever done. They are subversive to the core.

Democrats have been “hyper-critical” of the Trump administration since the 2016 election. They should recuse themselves from investigating Trump once they take over the House. They clearly have a deep bias.

and that’s why we have more than 50 GOP senators which was the plan all along. Trump can STUFF MORE CONSERVATIVE JUDGES for the next 2 years.

Pubes currently have 51 seats, but that includes Flake and Corker.

In January, there will be 55...WITHOUT Flake and Corker.

...when you add 1 VP vote to 50 Senator votes

They're not all reliable votes. That's why Trump spent so much time campaigning for Senators - he wanted an 'obstruction free' Senate, for confirmation purposes.

Florida and Arizona are still at risk.

Today all we know is that there will be 52 R's in the new Senate, as they are busy creating new votes in AZ to beat McSally.

With 52 R's we should be able to overcome the 2 typical troublemakers.

Was merely citing what is necessary, and now, more likely, in the new Senate.

There is nothing wrong with my math, my understanding of civics, or the makeup of the Senate.

If I have any understanding of Donald J trump it’s that he will use this opportunity to introduce negotiations on something else. He does nothing without having a deal in mind.

“House Dems urge emergency hearing on Whitaker’s appointment...”

That is none of their business. Presidential appointments to cabinet posts are with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Don’t any of these people read the Laws and Constitution?

Also Mitt Romney who will be the de facto leader of the Senate and will do anything everything to damage Trump and will find enough of the remaining NeverTrumpers to hold the Senate in chaos until 2020 when Romney will try to steal the Republican Presidential Nomination from Trump, worse if/when AZ/FL goes to the Dems...very dark days start in Jan 2019, very, very, dark days....

A resignation is a resignation. A termination is a termination. The two can’t be confused.

Resigning on your own self determinism is one thing, but when your boss requests your resignation, it's the same as being told, "You're Fired."
