'Intense pressure': Senate Democrats urged to make GOP pay for MAGA loyalty

By Matthew Chapman
Published November 19, 2024 9:46 AM ET

With Republicans set to control a unified government next year, Democrats need to crank up the pressure on the Senate GOP, wrote former conservative turned anti-GOP commentator Jennifer Rubin for The Washington Post — subjecting them to as much voter pressure as possible to block the most damaging parts of the MAGA agenda and exacting as much political pain on them as they can if they do.

Part of that is going to start with the votes to confirm Trump's more extreme nominations, like Matt Gaetz for attorney general despite an investigation into sexual assault, she wrote — and it's also going to involve holding the line against Trump's extreme tariff plans, which economists warn would spell economic disaster.

In 2026, despite a big hole to climb out of, Democrats face a more favorable Senate map than this year, she wrote. "For example, the reelection campaigns of Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Thom Tillis of North Carolina will be two of the most hotly contested races. While they hail from comfortably red states, less rabid Republican Sens.Steve Daines of Montana, Mike Rounds of South Dakota and John Cornyn of Texas will also face the voters."

As I read this article I went back and looked up the (two) impeachments that there leader had..........the first senate vote was 45 Dems and 1 Republican 2 Independents to impeach ........... 52 Republicans not to impeach................then in the second go around there was 57 Guilty and 43 Not Guilty............
I normally do not publish Politicos articles but this say's everything that will now be brought forward in these up coming scam hearings if there are any...........Note: Sinema , Manchin and Romney will not be in office, Brown and Tester will not be in office

Collins and the other three should not be charge of the office of dog catcher..........because she and them would fail in that position, she and them would ask what does a dog look like along with all of the BS that McConnel is spewing he talks out of both sides of his federalist society mouth.
We are in this shit show now because 52 in the first round of impeachment to bar the asshole from office failed, the second round of impeachment was 57 to 43............three short to bar the asshole , and now millions are going to pay for this absolute failure to uphold of the rule of law.............because it was and is about maga power over country ..................
