The GOP is in code red status, about to lose another Senate seat to a Democrat in Arizona of all places.

(ps: I am very disappointed with Senator Sinema. Her voting record in support of the orange one and Republicans has me concerned.)

speech with her dog? It was very sweet considering the state of the GOP these days.
You're welcome. I love Manu Raju and he is highly respected by both sides of the aisle, it hurt to see him disrespected like that. George's tweet, made my smile.
Edit:I just realized Martha Mcsally was the one giving the speech, it's all coming back now. She has taken a hard right turn.

in what looked like a homemade video, with her sitting in her living room, next to her dog.

She used to be my U.S. House Rep. Now, I want her gone from the Senate.

6. I took Swan's remark to mean that he, Swan, was the one taking McSally's

worthless bait but that he was doing so in defense of Manu, whom he praised as a good journalist.
