(11,004 posts)She's knows she's on her way out, so no point in trying.

(5,554 posts)She tried moderate and failed miserably
Now she's trying to stir up MAGAturd turnout

(964 posts)She may be desperate to suck up to Trump.

(11,004 posts)Her and Ducey are trying to get into the administration if Trump wins.

(21,621 posts)Murkowski and Romney (possibly) - but who else?

(34,857 posts)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.

(7,596 posts)She was down by 12 points in a recent poll.
I dont see her not going along with this.
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Every other poll has her down four or five, definitely within striking distance.
sandensea
(21,621 posts)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.

(34,857 posts)...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.

(8,286 posts)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.

(1,609 posts)At least there is some hope.

(20,709 posts)Also it would suck if she wins re-election by voting no on this, because she needs to go.
