to be their legacy. Gotta give them both some credit.
And of course, Collins and Murkowski.
I think we should all send then Postcards thanking them. If Collins and Murkowski would change to I, they would change history.

(9,895 posts)THEY showed real courage in steadfast opposition throughout this abortive process.
THEY were threatened, bullied, attacked and stood firm.
McCain's vote is not decisive if EITHER of them had capitulated, so they are the true heroes in this situation. McCain, to his credit, cast what may be the last significant vote of his life on what he felt was right instead of what would have been politically expedient.
Thank yous are due to all 3 senators, but I hope constituents of Capito, Portman, Heller and more have long memories or TVs that are running campaign ads in the next cycle...THEY are the craven and capricious and THEY need to go, now!
