Something fishy about all these Republicans "quarantining" themselves?

They did not care for the big bank giveaway in 2008-2009 and they do not want to vote for this big mess either.

What better way to dismiss yourself from the floor of the Senate than to declare that you were with someone that tested "positive" and you need to quarantine yourself for a few days?

Not only does that take away a majority vote, it takes away the majority from the Republican Party.

Donald Trump made some sort of snide remark today when informed that Mitt Romney had "quarantined" himself? He's a real fart smeller...uh... I mean a real smart feller...

But there seems to be something going on within the Republican Party? They are not marching in step the way they are supposed to.

Do you really think Rand Paul tested "positive" for the coronavirus?

As for Rand Paul, I'll only believe it's not a ploy when I see his grave stone.

I see no particular reason to doubt they are acting from health concerns, but would not rule your speculation out of hand. It is within the bounds of reason.

I know it sounds conspiratorial. But there seems to be a lot of pressure being applied from the White House?
