Don't delude yourself that if it becomes politically expedient for him he can't throw babies in the water.

I'm pretty sure they've been doing that already, at least in some states...

Oy you have so much to learn.

Will? Unlikely-too much opposition. Can if things change THAT much? Absolutely!

I don't disagree that it's possible. I'm the first to argue way take too many for granted.

Then lots stop with the garbage about politicians and their supposed principles.

Huh? Proving that an unprincipled politician may hypothetically exist (and many have existed in the past) in no way proves that the vast majority of politicians don’t have some principles.

They have some principle until those principles hurt them. Then they throw newborns in the water. If it is only a politician in the way of nuking TX and FL get out of there fast! They will do it in a heartbeat and make their excuses to themselves later when it becomes expedient.

Countless politicians sacrificed their lives for principles.

That vast majority of mankind has some principles that it would take far, far more to overturn than 'those principles hurting them'

The top two Senate leaders are nearing a power-sharing agreement to hash out how the evenly divided chamber will operate, with Democrats in charge of setting the schedule but both parties likely to hold an equal number of seats on Senate committees, CNN reported.

The negotiations between Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell have been built largely around how the Senate operated the last time the body was split 50-50: When George W. Bush initially became president in 2001.

Lol. The senate threw that out 93-6. Hawley will quite likely be expelled as well.
