With regards to his cabinet confirmation votes, he and all the GOP senators knew precisely what they were doing. There are no viable excuses.
Yeah, people should be frustrated.
āAmericans should be upset,ā he said. āLots of things to be upset about.ā
Hey Esme - Think youāve got a mistake. Whoās āKingā in the second paragraph?
Blah blah blah. What counts is when it is time for Moran to vote in the Senate. I predict heāll follow the party line and will be pleasantly surprised if he doesnāt.
āWhy isnāt there a woman on the committee to draft AHCA?ā Well, I dunno, because your party chose not to put one on there? How can Republican Senators get applause with do-nothing statements like this one? Iām sick of GOP scoundrels getting credit for playing reasonable in public, and then acquiescing to cynical power plays when the time comes. No applause for hypocrisy, please.
" Said he was just saying that Sessions is entitled to a full airing of the facts. "
If he wants a ful airing of the facts, then perhaps he shouldnāt commit perjury by hiding them.
I just donāt understand why gop voters are mad, the GOP is doing what they said they were going to do when they were voted in.
"Someone asks Moran if heāll buck his party. He says if he reaches
conclusion thatās in the best interest of Americans and Kansans " Which will happen precisely never, because he lets Mitch McConnell decide whatās in the interest of Kansans. If and when Trump gets caught carrying a satchel of opioids through customs, and thereās no way to hide the incontrovertible evidence, that is when GOP Senators will suddenly find their courage, and be first in line to get credit for their bravery in defense of the Republic and its laws and norms. I am sure then, when the GOP as a whole ābucksā its current line, weāll have a lot of independent, principled leaders, as the lot of them stampede. If we donāt have a dictatorship or all die from poor government first.

Allegedly this guy was identified and interviewed at a Cardinals game, but he sounds so predictably moranic that Iām not convinced this isnāt just snark. FWIW:
These GOPers keep talking out of both sides of their mouths thinking this will all blow over. They will start to panic when they see the damage supporting trump and his draconian policies will bring to them. Throwing the GOP out starts in GA 6th this month.

In Congress raiding what they can before the public kicks them out again.
āFrustrated constituents at a town hall Monday morning pressed Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) to defend his stance on the Republican bill to repeal and replace Obamacare and his vote for Betsy DeVos as secretary of education.ā
Jerry is finding it difficult to defend the indefensible.
All these stand up guys? Lying down and acting like door mats is what theyāre doing.
And yet he remains a Republican.
