Wow. For once the predictions are correct. Everyone said he would be the first to turn.
Collins next.

Maybe I’m not understanding but doesn’t he have this completely backwards? Congress put together a continuing resolution; Trump said he’d veto it. Trump says he won’t sign any funding bill without $5 billion for his wall. Nothing Congress can do about that.

Trump responds, “… if I was a senator from Colorado I’d be the greatest senator EVER!”

Pitiful and transparent, Cory. Let the pandering begin!

Collins can kiss her 2020 chances goodbye. Few are likely to forget her support for Boofin’ Bart and her opponent, whomever s/he may be, will be starting with a war chest of close to $4 million based on the crowdfunding effort after her 50th vote for Kav.

Sure they could - they could override his veto on anything with enough votes.

They can override his veto if enough republicans nut up. The senate passed the CR unanimously last month.

If he really wants to get re-elected and not primaried on the reich, he should just become a Democrat. I hear it’s the “in thing” to do.

Probably not. I don’t think she cares about her reelection. I think she’ll retire.

The 2020 election features several Republican senators who aren’t going to be rewarded for being Trump supporters. Gardner is one of them. If they want to be reelected they are going to have to demonstrate they aren’t stupid. Gardner isn’t stupid.

How I WANT Collins.

The way she submarined Blasey Ford and all she went through (plus all of us) at the last minute was sadistic. She is at Drumpf-levels of sadism and I would not believe her if I were telepathic.

I read somewhere today a statement from her about running for re election in 2020

Note:
Whenever I type 2020 or say it out loud I feel like Barbara Walters.

Whenever she does, her actions will be evaluated negatively by the great majority of the population in her state going forward.

Moreover, her retirement will certainly have ZERO Republican coattails.

After being a Trump rubberstamp for 2 years, evidently Gardner awoke, screaming, that he represents Colorado, a state that HATES Trump. This guy will lose badly in 2 years.

Yep, it is time to stop the foolishness. Tell McConnell to do his job and REOPEN GOVERNMENT, TODAY!
