Each time there is a needed vote for a controversial issue, Rand Paul and Susan Collins

pretend to be against the issue. In the end we know they will vote for it like he just did with Pompeo. Are they trying to impress their base because the rest of America is aware of their deceit.

In my opinion is nothing more than preening for the media airtime he garners attempting to keep his name out there for a presidential run.

One thing is a constant with Susan Collins, and that is that she has a spine of oatmeal.

I will never forget little Ricky Santorum telling his fellow teabaggers that Collins is a vote they can rely on!

PEACE!

I loathe that little creep, and I wish he were out of the public eye. A proper haircut and knowing how to dress himself would help, but I'd still consider him a little creep.

and the turn coats Heidi Heitkamp, and Chris Coons. Those three Democrats would give Pompeo the consent of the Senate regardless of what Paul did. The inablility of Schumer to keep our caucus lined up on an issue is the problem.
