I think they both want to delude themselves and others into thinking they’re really thoughtful, decent people and then their fear and greed come forth and reveal themselves to be the real motivators behind what they do. They’re not honest about being just like all the rest. Cowards.

Talks the big talk but caves whenever the going gets a little rough. It's as if he's trying to live up to his name.

He talks rationality and then goes to the Senate floor and votes with extremist right. EVERY TIME.

The guy has all of four weeks left in his Senate career, and he insists on living up to his name right up until the last second instead of going out with a few token gestures of "doing the right thing," except if taken as "doing the right-wing thing."

Why does he bother with this constant Lucy-jerking-away-the-football routine? No Idea. Maybe some $750,000 a year position in some Republican-controlled firm somewhere as a reward for his, well, Flakiness. Starting right around January 2, 2019, for example?

I knew. Rancid POS - like Collins because he pretends he's going to do the right thing and then pulls the rug out.

I have to get up again in 4 hours, and don't have time to check all this out, but just saw an interesting breaking news from the WaPo about it.

Could it be????? Or was this about another POS judge that Trump and McTurtle want foisted upon us?
