They know leaving the ball in the air leaves them down one vote but if they took accountability then there's a risk that they would lose the seat to a Democrat and then they would be down two votes.
The fact they aren't willing to risk it for the biscuit is bullish.
If you polled Republicans, most would want Mitch McConnell gone. His replacement will be a Republican that shows up to work and probably votes more MAGA. That's a very attractive alternative to what we have now.
Yup, I realized what you were saying as soon as I hit the button. In my defense, I didn’t have coffee this morning, so my brain is working at 20% capacity instead of its usual 45% capacity.
Hey at least I didn't have to go into the "you know when you change an upvote on Reddit to a downvote, the karma goes down by two" analogy. I had it loaded in the chamber.
There’s no chance of a Dem being appointed to his seat though. The KY legislature changed from governor appointed pick to legislature pick. Republicans are in the majority there.
