"Platner's warts." Wonderful turn of phrase -- bravo.

It's interesting that any Democrat or independent who didn't vote in the Democrat primary will now be able to vote in this Republican primary. That's the stupidity of open primaries.

The funny thing is there would be hard to find a more Rino R than Collins.

Yup, all true.

To me, the uniparty means there is not much difference between establishmentarians such as Chuck Schumer and John Thune on most things because they belong to donors. Money and power. Of course, Thune does oppose the president of his own party most of the time.

I think there is a difference between them.

There are many indeed. But, since there hasn't been a congressional budget passed since 2007...

"Republicans use power to get money and democrats use money to get power."

83% of republicans support the SAVE Act and so do 73% of democrats. That is a supermajority and both Schumer and Thune oppose it.

I think the same Machine kept you from office, Jeff. Accountability is not wanted because it cuts into the grift.
