This would be nice but color me suspicious of a Republican keeping thier word on anything. Just saying.

I hope, however, irresponsible Congressional “colleagues” makes one wonder.

“out of an abundance of caution”

Time to retire that phrase. Too last administration. In fact, use multiple phrases.

A few…

Out of concern for his well being. .

To have him looked over.

In case there is a serious problem.

Because we were worried about him.

Just to be careful.

To be prudent.

And the chances of him appointing a Democrat if the worst happens are approximately zilch

For some of them, being ill with Covid is an embarrassment considering their position and messaging. Admitting that they have been ill with the virus is too much. It would be like them discussing their ED.

Unless they can make it some grand moment like [Individual-1] did, they will look weak.

Pat Leahy was about seven or eight years ahead of me in college and I’m old. Hang in there buddy.

No when someone posted on another thread that Leahy was taken to the hospital I said: Check him for Novichuk.

What are the odds Rand is going to run for president in 2024? IMO, he seems to be posturing for a run.

Seriously. Absolutely NOTHING is off the table for the GOP right now. They are DONE with democracy and what they consider to be a farce of sharing power with people they believe they were intended by God to rule over. Anyone who thinks they won’t resort to poisoning people to regain control of the Senate or any other legislature or source of power is fooling themselves.

Snicker. He’d go down harder than Trump.

Relax everyone. Governor Scott has previously said he would appoint an independent who would caucus with the democrats and also not run for the seat when the possibility of Bernie taking a position on the Biden administration was raised.

Vermont elects a governor every two years. He has to be careful.
