He's self-serving. I hope his influence in the party gets diluted. Glad Politicub Jun 2021 #12

He's self serving. And it isn't as if the GOP care more about minority citizens. Double Whammy. marble falls Jun 2021 #14

Is not S 1 a budget bill that can be passed by reconciliation... brush Jun 2021 #21

No. S1 can't use reconciliation FBaggins Jun 2021 #27
