No, and again, were it me, I would have voted “No.” (Unfortunately, no one’s elected me to Congress, so I have to backseat legislate!) But I do think they’re limited in how much opposition airtime they can get. I think they’re limited in how much they can complain and fight without everyone getting bored and turning…

That’s fair and I agree. Would I have voted to okay him? No. Am I going to immediately declare that Elizabeth Warren is a fake progressive. No. Do I hope that people extend Cory Booker the same courtesy (for a far less high-stakes vote made for a far more understandable reason)? Yes.

I’m going to guess that this is the reason—DeVos, Puzder, Sessions are worth devoting lots of energy/time.

I hope this is a reminder to everyone on the left that we pick and choose our battles, and that symbolic votes/victories don’t really matter. Carson was going to be confirmed anyway, she’d do better to stake a big, big fight on Puzder, whose future is far less certain in my eyes.

I think this headline should read...

Wasn’t there just an article here about how he’s the Antichrist?

FINE, Ron.
