If the 'rats won't show up for the vote, have McConnell declare the Senate in adjournment.

And two minutes afterward, have Mr. Trump "recess appoint" them, one and all.

The 'rats will be certain to show up after that!

How many must be there for a vote to take place?  I thought it was 51 for a quorum.  No?

This reminds me of when the Wisconsin Senate Democrat caucus high-tailed it to the Clock Tower Resort in Rockford, IL to avoid voting on a number of GOP initiatives after Walker and the Pubbies won majorities in 2011.

There was talk of sending State Troopers to arrest them when they were driving home to see their wife and kids.

Eventually, they got bored and embarrassed and came home and voted.  But their overall churlish and puerile stupidity  and the beneficial effectiveness of the policies they ran from has turned Wisconsin from a bluish purple to a solidly red state.

Trump will make these Leftist weasels - not just in Goobermint but among our most radical, Soros-fed anarchist Left - show themselves to the workaday electorate for who they are.

This is in the Finance committee.  Ranking Minority member played by Ron "The Lisp" Wyden.

There are 24 members there.  It's 13-11 Pubbie.  It takes one minority RAT to be there to call a vote and they were all hidden.

Dumb f'ng gamesmanship.  They're just buying time to gin up the media and Soros enabled chaos.
