So with the remaining GOPe cuck brigade (in order of cuckiness, most to least):
Romney
Murkowski
Collins
Sasse

Even if all four of those were to vote no on a bill or judicial nominee, Pence comes in for the 50-50 tie breaker! This has massive implications for the ability to reshape the judiciary which will likely be the most significant effect from Trump's Presidency.

Collins is on board the Trump Train now. She has had a change of heart after the Kav hearings.

Being from Utah, I don't think you'll ever see Romney vote against any of the Judicial nominees. I know he's anti-Trump, but he is very much for right leaning courts.

Heller got rolled in Nevada and that fat frick Jon Tester is going to barely pull it out in Montana.

FIFY


She probably placed that bundle of dynamite back on the train tracks right after that moment of sanity.

I also have to wonder how much influence Romney will have on other Senators. He isn't small potatoes.

So earlier all versions of bills to get rid of Obama care got barely voted down.

Do they have to go back to the house for a new bill or can they pick this back up again now that they most likely have the votes.

Sasse is a rubber stamp for anything truly conservative, regardless of how much he likes/dislikes Trump

Sasse will never vote with the dumbs. He just like to hear himself talk.
