| Senator Orrin Hatch joins the Party of Trump |
| 2017-02-02 |
| [Deplorable Don Surber] Orrin Hatch may be a 82 and in the Senate way too long, but he has learned a new trick: Forget 'em. Ann Althouse, a retired law professor, captured Hatch's new attitude with this headline: "I don't care what they want at this point," said Orrin Hatch. "They" = Senate Democrats. This is a new and refreshing attitude for Republicans, well in keeping with President Trump's demeanor. Democrats have been throwing post-election tantrums for three months now. It is time to ignore their belligerence and incivility. Hatch heads the finance committee which needed to vote on Steve Mnuchin before the Senate can vote to confirm him as Secretary of Treasury, and on Tom Price as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Cheered on by a complacently liberal media, Democrats boycotted the meeting, in an effort to avoid confirmation. Committee rules require at least one Democrat be present before a vote occurs. Hatch had his committee waive the rule. |

| #1 Democrats have been throwing post-election tantrums for three months now. Oh, by the way, did someone remind them in the last five minutes that we won this time? |
