She tried moderate and failed miserably

Now she's trying to stir up MAGAturd turnout

But even counting Murkowski, plus those two Republicans, the GOP still has a majority at 51. There'd have to be two additional Republicans to come out and vote no for it to fail. Grassley said he wouldn't back in August but we know Republicans can't be trusted.

She was down by 12 points in a recent poll.

I don’t see her not going along with this.

Every other poll has her down four or five, definitely within striking distance.

But at the end of the day, she's a loyal fascist who knows there's an agenda to pursue.

She'll be rewarded with a 7-figure lobbyist gig if she goes along, besides.

And you know how "troubled" that prospect would make her.

...not unless two more Republicans indicate they're an absolute no - and then she'll be pressured.

Since the GOP grew its majority, they have wiggle room.

I mean, I know he's pro life. But I hope he doesn't. Unfortunately I fear you're right. Then again, his resentment towards the orange infection, may prove helpful in this case.

Also it would suck if she wins re-election by voting no on this, because she needs to go.
