And those two are the primary reason that the GOP and the country would be best served by having forfieted their seats and taken the loss. Collins has done massive damage to date to both the country and conservatism with her leftist voting sabotaging the GOP from within and Murky utilized the good old boy establishment we supposedly want to eliminate to circumvent the actual winner of her primary.
Norm, the problem is that is all hindsight. You never know exactly how many Senate seats you're going to end up with until after the election is over. Nor do you know exactly how many you're going to have after the next election. And it's easy to say "we don't need them" when we've got 50 other Senators who will hang tough.
But we had no way of knowing that would be the case prior to the election.
It sounds like both of those women are on board for Gorsuch, which is great. But what if we'd ditched Mukowski and Collins as you suggest, and either Blunt, Bennet, Burr, Toomey, Johnson, Rubio, or Portman had lost? And honestly, it pretty much shocked everyone that we ended up with 52 seats even counting those two women. Your ditching of those two squishy GOP women would have put Schumer in as majority leader, and just try to picture
that. We wouldn't be getting Gorsuch, or likely any other conservative justices confirmed.
It's easy to dismiss their importance when we win votes without them. But things could easily have looked much different if any of those other Senate races had come out differently.
