Getting yourself fired from the U.S. Senate to own the libs.



7:11 AM - Jan 23, 2020

One hopes each one is sent packing in Nov...

[Scarsdale]

1. My hope is that they will be joined

by many, many of their colleagues. The deadwood who are sitting at the hearing doodling, doing crossword puzzles and behaving as though they have been "kept after school". Are there any ADULTS in the gop? Maybe there is not, and that would explain their hero worship of the child in the WH. Biggest spoiled bully EVER, so he is their role model.

2. We can defeat Collins, Gardner, and McSally

and should definitely go hard after Ernst and Tills. Make Moscow Mitch lose his majority.

[HootieMcBoob]

3. We can defeat Moscow Mitch too

His approval rating in Kentucky is in the toilet. Let's retire Lindsay Graham as well and as many other of the bleeping bleeps as possible to save the country.

[GoCubsGo]

4. Moscow Mitch needs to be part of that majority he loses.

He needs to be booted out of the Senate along with the rest of them.

[Lonestarblue]

7. I predict that Moscow Mitch will retire if he loses his majority.

If Democrats take control of the Senate, then most likely we’ll have the White House as well. Moscow Mitch has been a power broker for far too long, and he will not like playing second fiddle. Plus, he can cash in even more by working for some corporate entity.

[GoCubsGo]

21. I'm not convinced that he will even be reelected.

Amy McGrath is coming for him.

[wnylib]

5. Make Moscow Mitch lose, period.

Loved hearing Madame Speaker use that term for him as Bill Maher's guest. Audience liked it, too.

[NY06DemSoc]

17. Made a donation to Collins' opponent this AM

When I read about Collins' note to Roberts chastising Nadler for calling the Republican effort a cover-up I was so disgusted I coughed up five bucks for Sara Gideon.

[CaptYossarian]

19. The GOP have a 53 - 47 lead in the Senate, counting Bernie and Angus King from

maple syrup country.

The cynic in me says we won't get anywhere until we have the utterly ridiculous "supermajority" that Mitch inflicted the last time we had more than they did.

Not only that, but we need at least 4 victories so we don't have a 50 - 50 tie and Pence becoming the tiebreaker.

[blm]

26. Tillis is toast.

[johnnyfins]

6. It's not like McSally was even elected anyway, fraud.

[getagrip_already]

8. This is their interview for wingnut welfare emeritus status....

They just guaranteed themselves millions in speaking fees, lobbyist jobs, think tank chairs, tee-vee contracts, and other very lucrative endeavors.

The only death in and after the senate would come from taking a principled stand. They will lose either way. But on one path there will be fame and fortune. The other, hate, isolation, and threats.

[rainin]

9. They believe they'll be reelected anyway. I'm scared they're right.

We've not been able to secure our elections, so I can't help worrying they play to an audience of one because tRump controls the thugs who will hack our machines. (or rather, Putin does) We have to make it clear to people that our only hope is a HUGE turnout in every state where it's expected to be close. Plus, we have to expect machines to go down completely in high density blue counties and have a plan. I don't even have ideas here, but hopefully someone else knows how to counter machine hacking. Honest hackers, maybe?

[LiberalArkie]

14. It all depends on who counts the votes (and who transports the ballot boxes)

[southerncrone]

23. They're not worried about being re-elected because

they have the voting machines rigged and help from Russia. That's why they act so smug all the time.

We should be screaming about these bogus electronic voting machines to the heavens. What have Dems done to correct this?

Until those machines are banished from our elections, you can bet Repukes will keep on "winning".

[UniteFightBack]

24. There sure are a lot of folks voting for them...yes we won big in 2018 but there were

still so many people voting for this corrupt crap.

[dlk]

10. As the saying goes, cutting off your nose to spite your face...

Republicans have picked this hill to die on. I say let them.

[FakeNoose]

12. They're probably interviewing as color analysts on Faux Snooze already

God knows, these people suck as Senators. They all need to find other day jobs.

[usaf-vet]

13. If the two billionaires in the Democratic race want to have a real long term national impact WHY

don't they make it clear that they will help finance any primary challenger running against MoscowMitch, Collins, Ernst, Gardner, McSally, and Tills? The major threat to our democracy is an acquitted Trump. He will see the acquittal as a green flag. And I think we haven't seen the worst from him yet

Those folks (other than MoscowMitch aka MM) are worried about holding their seat. MoscowMitch is holding the threat of supporting a primary challenger over their heads, the vote with us or else threat!

Knowing they would get financial support from the two money guys might make it a whole lot easier to do the right thing.

News reports have said Bloomberg has already spent a quarter of a billion on advertising.

Who knows what Steyer has spent.

[ramen]

15. One can hope and one can also donate to their challengers

Keep an eye out, folks

[Cosmocat]

16. IF there is any justice in the world

and if this country can get its head out of its ass ...

[marble falls]

18. Its the 10 - 20% that don't have an opinion that worry me.

[dalton99a]

20. Kick

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. The only thing these Thugs "own" is their moment of glory on Faux.

KY.......

[StevieM]

25. We need to defeat these 5 senators along with the two from Georgia and maybe Kobach in Kansas.

Alabama will be hard to hold.

But I think we can make a net gain of 6-7 seats.
