With both Warnock and Ossuff apparently winning the Georgia senate seats special election, the U S Senate is now firmly in Democrat hands.
Poor “Mittens” Romney can no longer bargain with Chuck Schumer for a cushy committee chairmanship, or some other ‘reward’, in return for his “Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords-style” ‘switch’ from Republican to Democrat.
Had the senate election in Georgia split with one Republican winning and one Democrat, it would have left Mitch McConnell in charge as Majority Leader, 51-49 GOP.
Instead, the unseating of both Republican senators, Perdue and Loeffler, the senate now is 50-50 with Vice President -elect Kamala Harris to cast the vote breaking the deadlock and making Schumer the Majority Leader.
Thus “Mittens” Romney (aka Pierre Delecto) no longer holds a top hand. Because the Democrat majority is effectivley established without him. Mr. Delicto can’t bargain with Schumer for something in return for his de facto disloyalty to the party that supported his election. We firmly believe this is what Romney would have done. He has, we suggest, worn his disloyalty to the Republican president and his party as a badge of honor since coming to the Senate.
So…it appears that a bitter, dishonest “Mittens” didn’t have to so publicly ‘tip his treacherous hand’,and, will remain in the Senate with the GOP caucus, voting with the Democrats when and as needed.
As a now ‘famous’ person says: “LET ‘FWEEDOM’ RING”! dlh
