- Democrats take comfort that he’s not a witch!
- Although it is pretty creepy that he allowed “Groper” Joe Biden near his daughter (and what female wouldn’t cringe?).
- As for Joe Biden . . . just eeeuuu (story below)
Yeah, He’s a ‘NitWitch’
Let’s remember. Chris Coons has always been something of a kook, yet he won his Senate seat by a large margin over Christine O’Donnell…the Tea Party candidate who came out of virtually nowhere to win the GOP nomination for the senate seat to succeed Joe Biden in Delaware in 2010. That made the Republican establishment really, really mad and they decided they’d rather have a Democrat…even one as big a hack as Chris Coons, than a conservative Tea Partier.
So they joined in the fun. Oh, how they pitched in to make O’Donnell a laughing stock, using all the Democrat opposition research and smear tactics to insure her defeat. Michael Medved, an establishment talk radio host was prominent in the joyful attacks on O’Donnell. It was so effective that even good, solid conservatives in Delaware and around the nation fell for it…even some Veritaspac readers. Even though objective observers had to acknowledge that O’Donnell had actually bested the hapless Coons in their debate.
“I’m not a witch!” became a great punchline.
Well, here he is…Senator Coons…as kooky as ever.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have a conservative, “non-witch” in the Senate.
Sen. Coons Blames GOP for Rule Change Made By Democrats (Washington free Beacon)
Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.) blamed Senate Republicans for a rule change that was made by their Democratic counterparts during an interview on Thursday.
The rule change in question was pushed through by Senate Democrats in 2013 when they controlled the chamber. The change was known as the “nuclear option” and lowered the necessary threshold to approve many presidential nominations from 60 votes to a simple majority of 51 votes. The change does not apply to Supreme Court nominations.
CNN host John Berman asked Coons about what he said in a prior interview last month during which he said he regretted the rule change.
“Well, let me be clear about that comment, what I regretted was that then Minority Leader [Mitch] McConnell so overused the filibuster to block every major nominee by the Obama administration to the D.C. Circuit, to the NLRB, and to many other vital posts, that we ultimately as a Democratic Caucus felt compelled to make that change,” Coons said.
