She’s voting yes on a procedural vote.

It doesn’t mean she’s voting to confirm

For someone that would represent that state. It's not a rich state and their people could use help.

9. murkowski got the get out of vote free card - collins has to eat crow and vote yes

the gop is going scorched earth on this. She and flake will both vote yes. There are big payouts for voting yes and a big zero after leaving the senate if they vote no.

Operatives, including trump, have made it clear they will have no connection to conservative dollars for the rest of their lives if they vote no.

It isn't going to happen.

It will be 50-50 and pence will break the tie.

So it is written. There really isn't anything that can change that, short of a videotape existing. And that might not even do it.

I can already hear them laughing it up after the vote. They do love their laughter.

Collins is every bit as sinister as any of these raving lunatics. The only way to avoid the hell that these asshats are working to create is to throw the bums out.
