Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) just said on Wolf Blitzer's show that there is a rumor

[Totally Tunsie]

that there is a strong possibility a Dem. senator also will not be present for the vote. He refused, however, to name who it might be in case it doesn't come to be. He called it a "pair" - that a R&D senator even off with their absences.

2. If it's true - and this is Rounds, so I take it with a grain of salt - I bet it's manchin.

3. Dem - well no jet for you, nor McTurtle allowing a wait.

4. "Even off" is baloney since the Rs have the majority

What horse poo. Dems owe them *nothing*.

9. The POster Referenced A Combo Of Coons & Flake

and as it's Daines it can't be that combo

8. It's a D, which Rounds says will negate Daines' absence.
