11. PREMATURE IS SOMETHING NORMAL FOR AN OLD TIMER
|
The GOP is FOOL of old timers who are so premature they should be in DEPENDS
The FOOLS will step on there owe wits because there cognitive powers are dim versus their premature placing of their foot within their collective mouths.  |

still curious about the two Democrats SE claimed would give cover to Graham's and McCain's partisan attacks by objecting to approving Susan Rice if she go forward? If there are two, then we would see where their allegiances are? Let's see the snakes that are in the bed of the GOP? The President is not Dumb and they have nothing here. Just a goose chase by sorry losers and the same obstructionist Bullshit!

Then Brown can take his seat in the Senate. They are discrediting any rivals to Kerry for the position. It's just partisan politics.

He won his seat with a good majority and Mainers tend to show loyalty to incumbents. I think he'll be there as long as he wants, barring malfeasance.

35. Okay, I see your point now.
|
I thought you meant the electorate would not support him for a second term, but you meant he would be discouraged and not seek reelection. I wouldn't be that surprised if he chose to be a one-term Senator myself, and I suppose his effectiveness would factor into his decision. But it's too much conjecture at this point - he hasn't even been seated yet and we are wondering about his plans for 2018?
