Sarah Palin or Laura Ingraham ~ Murkowski is effin' screwed in any case.

God help if she does that for surely, Yertle will not. Â She'd NEVER get any pork for Alaska, stripped of all her committee positions and any legislation she authored would be sent to the warehouse where they keep the Lost Ark of the Covenant.
It would save DiFi though and that's all that DiFi is interested in.
On a related thingumybob -I can't for the life of me see why if the dems know that the vote is lost, that they don't support Kav and try to win back a little of the public support that they have lost.
That would be sensible politics. So, I have actually answered my own question.
Oh, DiFi's fixin' to attend a much larger fish fry. Doubt she's a minority leader long after the indictments roll.
I think we may be pleasantly surprised by a few dems leaving the reservation ~ they KNOW it's a lost cause but might salvage an election...if they campaign their asses off and either lie well or truly change their tune.
Also, would NOT be surprised to see a few party switches as a ramification of this debacle. The weathervanes will always follow the wind and the wind is a Force 8 on the Beaufort scale .

I don't know who he is, but he sounds like a patriot! Â Good for him! Â 
One point he makes about "fewer Americans serving than ever before" is the absolute truth. As an E-6, Jr got a reeaaal healthy re-up bonus as a machinist's mate. Â Re-up bonuses were typically for junior sailors considering a 2nd enlistment, and non-nuke MM's were never on that $$ radar.
I think he has been called up to go to GITMO for military tribunals.

Sarah Palin or Laura Ingraham?

there is no record of a Tytler’s having authored a work entitled The Fall of the Athenian Republic (or The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic), and the quoted material attributed to him above is likely apocryphal. Origins: The item cited above began circulating on the Internet since shortly after the 2000 U.S. presidential election. Perhaps you should read the links ppl post before judging the contents therein.
http://www.lorencollins.net/tytler.html
The quote summarizes pages 464-469 of his book Universal History: From the Creation of the World to the Beginning of the Eighteenth Century.

It does not. I just read those pages. He's speaking of the necessity of moral virtues to a republic's rulers.

If I were running the Democratic Party (and I thank God I am not), I would identify which discredited members of the OLD GUARD in the Senate were
not currently up for re-election, but were from states where the governor appoints Senate vacancies. If those governors were Democratic and 'controlled', it would be assured that replacements would be Democrat and would fit the 'mold' that I wanted. I would then methodically ease those discredited members out by having them resign for one reason or another, and giving their un-elected replacements an opportunity to become established as 'incumbents' and thus assured election when the end of the term arrived.
That way, it would deprive the opposition of an opportunity to defeat a 'soiled and tarnished' Democrat by inserting a well groomed substitute instead, and hold a good chance of maintaining a decent balance of power instead of getting completely swept away by the lingering Red Wave sentiment which would be attached to an incumbent. It would all be in the hope that after two or four years, when those positions would be up for re-elections, people would have become complacent again and would revert back to voting Democrat.
I feel strongly that Trump will work hard to be sure the Red Wave sentiment does not die for many years. Once he is out of office, he very well may become a GREATER force than he is now, because he will then be unleashed from political restraints.

^^^ Agreed. This Great Awakening will be just that ~ people
(enough of them to vote in majority) will reacquaint themselves with the LAWS of the Land
(Constitution) and DEPRIVE the crooks and swindlers of the DEEP STATE from ever getting entrenched again.
(At least for a generation or so, until the lesson is lost and the sheep become fat, dumb and lazy once more.)
