      Mitch McConnell, widely considered to be the worst person in the US during the Obama presidency, the most craven GOP nihilist in remembered history who single-handedly stole two Supreme Court seats and sought to strip healthcare for tens of millions of Americans without even bothering to come up with an alternate plan, voted against this guy and lost because the rest of the GOP senate was somehow even more craven and nihilistic.

      We’re through the looking glass here people.

        They have whips so they pretty much knew the outcome before the vote. They probably just allowed a few defectors to say they are still “independent” and not simply an extension of the Executive.

      Like many other things this should be illegal. What VP, besides Pence, would counter their own President? It should be 51 votes or cough up another nominee.
