Wasn't McCain #51?

I mean, it's probably a moot point anyway, since everyone knows Turncoat Manchin would hang around and vote yes.

Every single one of their "no" votes are needed if there is to be ANY chance of him not being confirmed.

he needs his ass to be thrown out.

He has no respect for the citizens of this country. Telling us to sit down and be quiet it's not only women who are upset about this, Lawyers from prominent law schools and university sent a letter with 40 signatures on it.

Also I read that Senators (Republican) are running away from their constituents and have security detail. scared much Senators, you disgusting POS. This is not over not by a long shot.
