Searching for any Announcement or Rumors of Lisa and/or Mitt leaving the TRumpliCon Party [View all]

Or any other Senator I hadn't thought of.

It's Monday, Feb 1st 2021 and with all that is before Biden to deal with, Moscow Mitch is still clinging to Power to obstruct everything we need to get done to move this country out of our catastrophic crises in addition to having a functioning government to see it happen.

His routine playbook.. and it has to be stopped now.

The only thing I can think of to remedy the situation is if one or two people attached to the letter R, leaves that rotten corrupt party and at least register as Independents and caucus with the Dems at least for now.

But I'm not finding any announcement to that effect, and that's really worrying.

Romney would never leave. Or if he did, he'd still caucus with the Republicans. Drunken Irishman Feb 2021 #4

Of course you're on point. I think my calculus leaned toward a loss for Mitt anyway msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #16

Isn't he considered by the radicals anti-republican with his remarks msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #30

ohhh f**K. msfiddlestix Feb 2021 #19

Murkowski won as a write in candidate in 2010, but I'm pretty sure it had to do with the size of AK LeftInTX Feb 2021 #26

Collins could switch without any consequences Proud Liberal Dem Feb 2021 #11
