Pres. Biden needs to offer Sen. Toomey (R-PA) a plum ambassadorship

[Wanderlust988]

maybe to the UK or France. He's retiring anyway in 2022. This would allow us to get to 51 votes, which does make a huge difference. Gov. Wolf would be able to appoint his replacement.

1. Good idea!

[Mike Nelson]

2. Ha-ha!

... would love to see him accept! Show us your stuff, Toomey!

[SunSeeker]

3. Email your idea to Biden's Chief of Staff Ron Klain!

5. May I suggest......?

The Duchy of Grand Fenwick?

6. Teabagger Toomey will never do it

He is a teabagger through and through.

10. There has to be something that he wants

Short of a federal judgeship, I'd be ok with just about anything. Having a 51-49 advantage in the Senate would make all the difference.

13. We just need to make sure that this guy gets in when 2022 rolls around

I would love to see him go upside Cruz's head with his chest!

Mastriano belongs in prison as a seditionist.

To be clear, Senator Mastriano and *every PA Republican Senator* voted for Act 77 Vote by Mail.

Unanimous.

In fact, it was

a PAGOP bill.

👉
Dems wanted to push it back to 2021. PAGOP forced it for 2020.

You can’t make this up.

(of course while Wolf is in office, Act 77 will NOT be "repealed" )

[Buckeyeblue]

14. Agreed. He's awesome. He'll make a great senator.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. If he did manage to get elected

we might have a problem with him needing to wear a tie!

(although in the other chamber, Gymsuit refuses to wear a jacket so... )

11. He's a Club-for-Growth guy

7. Don't see it happening but i'm not against it.

[twodogsbarking]

8. Ambassador to Mars

I'm in.

[DeminPennswoods]

12. Don't see that as happening

What I see as more plausible is targeting Murkowski to become an Independent who caucuses with the Dems like Sanders and King. Schumer could give her whatever committee assignments she wants. She's got some seniority that might even translate into a committee chairmanship.

16. Toomey voted the republican party line 94% of the time. He's not going anywhere.

[Renew Deal]

17. I agree

There has got to be something he wants.

[mmbrevo]

18. Maybe it's just that he's not running for reelection in 2022...

But he has seemed to find his balls lately. I’ve found his recent reasonableness suspicious, like he wants a cabinet post or something.

19. as much fun as it is to think about this --- won't happen ---

... First off - I doubt Toomey will budge ....
his only virtue is tenacity -- as odious as he is he's persistent
... More importantly, Wolf is obliged to appoint a R for a vacated R seat ---

as an aside - there are a lot of dreadful Rs with high visibility in this state; we could do worse - believe it or not
