I would so love to see the day when Kamala shows up to break a tie and see Mitch's face

I know, we aren't there yet, but I can dream. Even if we win Ga, I don't know how often something like that would happen. Maybe the knowledge that it could happen will mean the Rs aren't always voting in lockstep.

that claim he's better to have than an R but I don't see the difference. His D vote can't be depended on. He should be educating his constituency about why being a D is better for their lives than being an R and show his courage by acting like a D.

Outside that particular scenario (which, in fact, may come into play very shortly)?
