Bill Palmer has an excellent suggestion for Flake, Corker, and McCain to prove that they mean

what they've been saying.

They can switch parties to Independent for the rest of their terms and caucus with the Democrats.

This would give Dems a 51 seat majority and make Chuck Schumer majority leader instead of Mitch McConnell, allowing for real investigations in the Senate.

Grassley would be replaced by Feinstein etc. The Dems would determine priorities, not the Rethugs.

1. they dont mean it. they are just quibbling over nothing of value and will back trump

when the chips are down

2. All 3 voted to help the bankers just yesterday.

3. They are rabid RWers

Corker is very conservative, and Flake and McCain are hardly close to the Dem party. They haven't renounced Republican policies, just Trump.

4. Not gonna happen. They are playing their games.

Flake and Corker are testing the waters to run as the anti-trump in 2020.

5. Sounds good to me.

6. I hope Schumer is making that case to them behind the scenes.

That is how they got Lincoln Chaffee to come over from the dark side.
