I like it. The common sense coalition. Just after lurker declared there’s no such thing as common sense. Seems right....

And biden is the ideal prez for such a group. Extremes are non starters. Run it like a good mediation panel. Want $15 an hour it’s currently $7 give em $11. Split the baby on everything possible and leave both sides equally unsatisfied. And make all new members take the Hippocratic oath.

They need their own party and news channel.

Anything mentioning little Dickie Durbin and common sense is a farce to begin with.

Really? Durbin queers the whole thing for you?

Not much common sense to that.

No it wasn’t that. I don’t even know who Durbin is. kidding. I didn’t read any of it closely enough for my itchy trigger finger to post.

If this was some sort of moderate coalition I would think Synema would be involved. She's definitely voted center-left.

How about Sasse?

Routinely one of the top 10/15 most liberal senators based on voting record. Not much going across the aisle from him.

I don't give those rankings much cred. They're more a measure of who votes the party line the most in votes on procedure.

 

[Spartans9312]

How about Sasse?

He's a conservative

 

[UncleMark]

He's a conservative

So, not qualified for the Common Sense Coalition?

Just figured anybody that went against Trump as much as Sasse would be gain the "approval" of the D.C. press corps.

Trump isn't a conservative. Therefore Sasse and Trump wouldn't agree on policy at times.

Bingo.

Any methodology that ranks Harris as a leftist nutcase and Bernie as a mainstream Democrat leaves something to be desired.
