Mark Kelly, phony communist Democrat from Arizona is up for re-election this year in Arizona. She is suddenly “unsure” on nuking the filibuster because he doesn’t want to appear too radical before the November elections. Jon Tester of Montana who is up for re-election in two years and has been branded a “moderate” is also getting cold feet. Add these two to Manchin and Sinema and Democrats are a long way from nuking the filibuster (thank god).
Mark Kelly is one of the biggest phonies they have in the Senate. IF he weren’t up for re-election this year, he’d have no problem voting with the other communists to nationalize elections. Mark Kelly is as slimy as they come. And that’s saying something for a politician.
Mark Kelly is not yet committed to a change in the Senate rules that would allow elections reform legislation to pass by a simple majority. A centrist who is up for reelection in November, Kelly said Monday he is still undecided just days before he may have to vote on proposals to weaken the filibuster.
“I’ve never been part of an organization where it’s really, really hard to do things. So if there’s a real proposal, I’ll take a look at it and evaluate it based on what’s in the best interests of the country,” Kelly said. He said he has yet to see what, exactly, he would vote on and that the proposals Democrats have discussed change “almost weekly.”
Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) are the source of most liberals’ frustrations these days, with both publicly rebuffing changes to the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. But it’s not like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer starts a pivotal week — focused on changes to the very fabric of the Senate — with 48 iron-clad votes for a particular filibuster reform.
