Yep.

Face it...he wouldn't be able to sit through a standing filibuster anyway.

That’s not difficult, I doubt Mitch even knows where he is

Senility is controlling him. He's not much better than Biden in the mental competency department right now.

I don't trust Collins any more than I trust Mitch or Murkowski. Something smells fishy.

It's priceless, because NPR ran a piece earlier this week talking about how Collins was NOT in support, blah, blah, blah....

She isn’t as bad as Murk, she usually comes through when needed

While I share the distrust of Collins, if she was a hard no on this she was toast in Maine. Republican support would crater. She still might lose her race, but at least it won't be specific the the SAVE Act.

Now it's all on Thune. He'll be the most hated Republican in the country if he folds.

Aside from a census citizen bill, this is the most important voter reform we can get

It primarily crushes Democrats in 4 ways

1) they can't vote harvest in large cities like they have been. Not even close

2) same day voter registration without ID. Yes, this happens in democrat controlled areas

3) Vote by mail, as I understand it, will be much more difficult for fraud

4) DMV auto registration is done. Which effects voter database canvas and harvesting.

I don’t understand the hate for Collins. She represents Maine. You can either get a moderate republican or a liberal democrat who pretends to be moderate. Murkowski and McConnell are the real problems.

Out of the ones that were a no or undecided, Collins is the one I had the most hope for. She won't change her mind either or she's toast.

If they would have included banning ranked choice, then she DEFINITELY wouldn't have voted for it. Hopefully her vote doesn't require too much pork.

I 100% support the bill, but I think that blue states are simply going to ignore it and the GOP won't have the balls to do anything about it.
