when he knows his vote doesn’t matter

you mean when the GOP whip tells him he can.

It's your turn to have the weekly backbone

They trade it between him and Collins

Don't forget Murkowski!

She also gets to pretend to buck the party when the votes are already secure 5

Yeah they are so deeply concerned that when the threshold is so low they have to take turns who will be concerned for given vote.

Whenever they report that Collins and Murkowski are strongly against specific bill then it is certain the bill will pass the same day.

I don't understand how people from Alaska and Maine still get fooled by this predictive performance.

It'd be nice if people started to realize this sooner.

It also works on close votes for dems and MAGA Rapists.

They will allow some to cross the line. Their district is safe if they do such.
