It's Time For Women to Run the Country

[dynasaw]

"Together the three women started a bipartisan group whose negotiating framework formed the centerpiece of a tentative Senate deal nearing completion Monday to reopen the federal government and avert a disastrous default.

“Before I went to the Senate floor, no one was presenting any way out,” Ms. Collins said. “I think what our group did was pave the way, and I’m really happy about that.”

In a Senate still dominated by men, women on both sides of the partisan divide proved to be the driving forces that shaped a negotiated settlement. The three Republican women put aside threats from the right to advance the interests of their shutdown-weary states and asserted their own political independence."

5. This is a pro Republican article and OP. Ayotte, Collins and Murkowski should be

voted out of office because they are Republicans opposed to equality and choice not allowed to run the world because of their gender. I oppose all Republicans not just the male ones.
