Trump said he is looking for Dems to work with, might these two senators side with trump and republicans to make a deal about the ACA?
I ask because these two are now voting for Gorsuch.

(6,344 posts)This is not a popular position they are taking. It seems unfair to all democrats that they are doing this.

(12,744 posts)The Republicans need to peel more than those two. I suspect they were given ok from the whip if we still have enough votes to filibuster.
They come from solid Trump country and a more liberal Dem won't win their seat. Period. A primary will cost us their seat.
Now if others start coming out publicly for Gorsuch, that's a different story.
