She will be confirmed. There’s no way cloture would’ve happened if not.

Joe Lieberman had a lot of good things to say about Betsey, plus that means McPain and Linda will back her...and didn't someone say right at the end of Rush's show today that Collins and that other twit said they were going to vote Yes...

As near as I can tell, a lot of this opposition is from Teacher’s Union-funded Senators who fear DeVos isn’t pro-public school (i.e., supports private schools) enough.

Been watching C-SPAN some today. Am sick and tired of seeing the partisan obstruction the democrats are doing on every cabinet nominee. Warren and her war party are a joke and treasonous in their motives. It has nothing to do with the individual nominee be everything to do with obstruction of orderly senate actions for partisan reasons.

This is good.... the quicker DeVos is in, the quicker Sessions will be AG as well.

Hmmmmm ..?? I wonder if Graham got a lot of phone calls telling him he better vote for DeVos or find another job.

Why It’s So Hard to Find That 51st Senate Vote Against Betsy DeVos

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/02/06/betsy_devos_senate_confirmation_fight_reaches_crunch_time.html

The next to the last paragraph tells the tale ...... now let’s hope it doesn’t happen. The Dems have made it their mission to deny Trump at least ONE cabinet position & this one seems to potentially be the “easiest” right now.

So now it looks like their Labor nominee may be the scalp the Dems limp away with?

Senator Tim Scott's backing is not surprising, God bless him.

linda's backing? Well, which way was the wind blowing?

This is news? What would have been news is if Scott said he opposed. 😊 Graham, meh.
