  1. The pool of moderates far, far exceeds the pool of liberals in North Dakota. What you are saying is generally true,but North Dakota is not a friendly location for Democrats. In this case, she got 31k more votes than Obama did in 2012 when they were both on the ballot (she won, he did not). The 2016 Senate race had the Republican win 78% of the vote where Trump only got 63% while winning in his 4th best state performance. So she has to get some Trump voters to vote for her, or she will lose. There just isn't enough Democratic support to win the turnout game here.
  2. I don't think she (or others) vote yes no matter what. I think they will follow the lead of Collins, so they can say there is bipartisan concern about his appointment to the court, and the balance of the court. They won't vote no unless there is some bipartisan cover. That is unless they are anti abortion Dems in which case
  3. It's to burnish her 'moderate' reputation, not to avoid the ire of Trump. She hopes that she can peel off the ~60k voters who voted for Trump in 16 that voted for her in '12. If the Republicans can get the votes without her, there is literally 0 harm in her voting to confirm. So it kinda comes down to Collins and murkowski again
  4. Pretty easy when you realize he has more wealth than almost everyone will get in their lifetime, yet he is hell-bent on making sure his employees can't join a union to improve their wages, working conditions, and other workplace issues (of which there are many documented cases). Him being a Tony Stark wannabe doesn't factor into the equation.
  5. In reality though, folks like kavanaugh would no doubt give them a "good faith" exception to things like CP and copyright infringement so they really wouldn't be responsible if they 'try' to get rid of such things.
  6. Hard to name anyone else with such strong judicial credentials? Merrick Garland maybe?
  7. No surprise, there's where the blame will go when this deal-like all other deals with the north koreans-goes south
  8. I'm a big fan of this. People in Washington should not be insulated from their actions, as this system of government is broken. As long as there is no violence, I couldn't give a shit if this happens to whomever.
  9. "Stand down darkie, a white is here to enforce the law as I imagine it"
  10. Lol dropping the corporate rate 1 percentage point makes the list?
