(26,158 posts)I think she gets things done for her constituents and they adore her and that's great. She's a breath of fresh air for the party, and I think that's also a great thing overall.
BUT.
With all of the Repub targets out there to choose from, with all of the stress we're going through while waiting for the final vote count, why is she firing at someone on the same team? Generally, I don't mind when Dems disagree with one another a bit because we're a big tent party and it happens all the time. But today of all days, she takes aim a fellow Dem who didn't say anything remotely outrageous or untrue.* WTF?
*OUCH. Mea culpa. I did miss a very important part of that comment, and I apologize to transgenders everywhere. Yeah, that was not cool on McCaskill's part at all. Most of the rest of her comment seemed innocuous, though I do disagree with "stop acting like we're the smartest people in the room." Again, I was too quick on the draw there.
My sincere apologies.
