Forget McCain, kudos to Collins and Murkowski for holding the line. (Hey look, they're women.)

Collins is the last GOP senator from New England. Not surprising she's generally "moderate,"

Murkowski owes the GOP nothing since she got primaried in 2010 and won via write-in. She's been quite moderate since then.

granted it's annoying when they vote for Trump's nominees and procedural stuff, but they came through when it really, really, really mattered here. Fuck Mitch McConnell.

Responses:

Can they strip Murkowski of her committee chairmanships to punish her? She may not be in control of that Interior budget for long. -- nm - jnine Jul 27, 22:53
*because* they're women, they stood their ground. - Mop Jul 27, 22:49
Yes, they've held the line all along and kudos to them. Collins is considerate 'moderate' whatever that means. - ty97 Jul 27, 22:49
Collins may want Gov in 2018. So she's gunning for that I think. -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 22:48 5

    - And eventual Secretary of Homeland Security, I assume. -- nm - Mop Jul 27, 22:53
    - Sorry, got confused. The issue is on the ballot this November in Maine. -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 22:51
  - She also obvie doesn't think anything of Trump -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 22:49
