i posted this the other day when Cornyn said this on biden not âcoordinatingâ with Republicans on his cabinet picks
I really am a little surprised ⌠that there hadnât been at least some consultation. I mean, some of these problems can be avoided and people, you know, saved from the embarrassment if there would simply be some consultation on who theyâre thinking about,â
now heâs said this (from electoral-vote.com)
Some Republican senators (but not all) are actually acting like senators first and partisans second. For example, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that he has âphilosophical problemsâ with Janet Yellen as secretary of the treasury, but he could see no reason to oppose her nomination. Specifically he said: âMy attitude is that, absent conflicts of interest or otherâlack of temperament, and uber-partisanshipâbeyond those, that [Biden] should get the people who he wants to serve him.â Note that this statement kind of implies that Biden, and not Trump, is going to be sworn in on Jan. 20âŚ
so i take back half the bad things i was thinking about him.
note also the sentence after the italics ;-)
