[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a MAGA enthusiast, I’m pleased with Alsobrooks. She’s voted for more Trump appointees than almost all Senate Democrats, and way more than far-left Van Hollen.[/quote]

She's solidly in the middle of senate democrats -- of the major nominees, voted against 8, did not cast a vote on 1, and voted for 4.

That's a dud for an MD senator. We are bluer than most states and her seat is very safe. I'm extremely underwhelmed.[/quote]

You do know that bipartisan support for cabinet nominees is typical, right?  Only during the Trump admins have Democrats broken that tradition.  [/quote]

This is a really bizarre way to frame this issue. There was bipartisan support for cabinet nominees precisely because cabinet nominees are well-qualified and unobjectionable. Trump broke that tradition and Congressional Republicans have gone scorched Earth to ram unqualified nominees down our throats.

In any event, ask Barack Obama and Bill Clinton whether all of their nominees enjoyed bipartisan support before you decide to rewrite history as this issue being instigated by Democrats.[/quote]
