Steve Daines: Well, Mitch, it looks I won't be able to vote tomorrow afterall. I want to leave early to go to a party.

Really good question. I wonder what the Senate rules are when the vote is 49 to 48?

Daines definitely needs to be there tomorrow as does Vice President Pence ought to be on hand to break a tie.

After all the twists and turns in this fiasco, I won’t be satisfied until the final confirmation votes are recorded.

By my count, Heitkamp, McCaskill, and Donneley should be pickups. I think one of FL, NJ, WV, or MT will be a pickup as well.

I think McSalley will pull it out in AZ. Heller is the most vulnerable Republican senator.

She is such a waste. How did she get elected? Liberals stuffing the ballot boxes in Anchorage?

Voting present does not get counted as a no
That means if no one defects the dems have 49. With Murkowski voting present then they will never reached 50.

“The dude gets paid to do one thing: vote. And he's out when needed the most.”

My brother was a trigger-puller in the 1960’s. He said they were told if they fell asleep while on duty - especially in the face of the enemy - they (U.S. soldiers) could be shot.

Her statement about it being a courtesy to her friend made zero sense...what did that even mean?

I hate to think about it, but we may need to help Collins if she runs again.

Well, I doubt this photo is from today. She had a blue/green suit on for her floor speech.

Feinstein looks like the playground bully.

In Maine, Collins is as good as you’re going to get.

I listened to the first few minutes of Murk’s speech before having to leave. Is it just me or did she just say nothing of substance for the first several minutes? The manner of speech gave me the impression that she has a room temperature IQ. Is she putting style over substance as the reason for her decision? What a mess.
