We cats follow Democratic Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii on Twitter, and we're mighty glad we do. He's been making Baby Marco Rubio's life particularly miserable there lately, and he's always clever, succinct and amusing. Just yesterday he made us laugh with a joke about going to a Bruno Mars concert in the rain.
But he really hit the nail on the head on Friday, when he asked, "Look I’m still in Hawaii so maybe it feels different on the continent but do the R’s seem super panicky today?"
Yup. It's two days later, and things for the GOP have gotten even worse. We cats think you're looking at a photo of a US Senator here.
Kyrsten Sinema, the Democratic candidate in the race for Jeff Flake's seat, now has pulled ahead of Republican Martha McSally by 30,000+ votes. There are still more ballots to count, and they're mostly from blue areas. But you can really tell that the GOP has lost this one because of the way they're acting: throwing themselves on the floor like kicking, screaming toddlers, alleging voter fraud.
Pathetic. As Jon Favreau has said, "This would be a good time for all the Never Trump GOP strategists to tell their pals at the NRSC to knock this sh*t off. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the vote counting in Arizona."
Our paws are crossed, but it's looking increasingly likely that Brian Schatz will be able to call Sinema his fellow Senator soon. When that happens, we cats will PURR.
UPDATE, November 12: YES, Kyrsten has indeed clinched, and she will be Arizona's first woman in the Senate — not to mention the nation's first openly bisexual Senator ever. The world spins forward, and you can't stop it. We cats PURR again.
