what I fear is that the Dems will fall for what he is saying and get sucked into the process only to be screwed in the end by McConnell, Ryan, Trump and the Repugs in general.

...to the bombastic idiot speaking on the Senate floor! The man who has had his health care paid for by the very same Americans he just helped to condemn to death!

F**k McCain, when the actual vote comes up he'll do what he's always done, talk a line of crap and then march in lockstep with his party...the same can be expected of Lindsey Graham, McCain's twin!!!

As if agreeing that we should stop listening to bombastic idiots on TV.



Lots of false equivalency - I agree.

I mean, if you like lukewarm appeals to better angels from a guy who just voted to continue the process of removing health insurance protections from millions of people, a guy who made one of the most craven and opportunistic choices for a running mate, and who is calling for a return to a senate that never existed for all Americans in the first place -- I mean, yeah, I guess.

on some television news show. Literally every week almost without fail. When I heard him say that, I walked away and am making some blueberry muffins.

To paraphrase the old Shakespeare refrain, the GOP allows them to be the "poor player that struts and frets his hour on "Face the Nation" (or This Week with...", "Meet the Press", "State of the Union" ) and then is heard no more (when it comes time to vote).... Because their tale is one told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".

They will ALWAYS vote to support their party, no matter how much damage that party plans to do to others.
