You're leaving. PLEASE leave with your heads up!
Scarborough has been urging these two to tell McConnell and trump that the game is over. It only takes two Senators voting "NO" to stop these bastards in their tracks.
A few days ago, Flake told Joe he was going to start saying "No". When he was asked if Corker was with him, he hinted he was.
DO IT GUYS! PLEASE!

OP
Yeah, as others here are suggesting, in the end, neither Flake or Corker will do shit.

(16,151 posts)1. That was kind of funny
and kind of sad.
They will do nothing but nod their heads and vote "yes" to anything presented to them.

But they will be all in for another seat on the SC.

(2,787 posts)4. How would that be
It is 51 to 49 in favor of republicans now if they both flipped it would be 51 to 49 in favor of Democrats. Doesn't really matter though,because neither one of them is going to flip.

(7,768 posts)5. I'm not sure of the math but Joe had it all figured out.
I think it may have to do with John McCain's health and whether he'll ever return to Congress to vote again.

All talk...no walk.

(5,969 posts)7. It's time for those who talk the talk
to show that they mean it. Collins should be in that group as well. I know it's not going to happen that they make a stand by doing something that actually matters instead of giving useless speeches, but two out of those three would need to resist. Not sure about the McCain situation.
We also have to realize that they may oppose Trump but not what the judge stands for. So yeah, 0% chance of happening.
