I figure there will be a ton of senators pass away in the next 5-10 years. That chamber is full of geriatrics

Phil Scott may be a republican but in reality, he is indistinguishable from a democrat in practice and governance and is best friends with Pat Leahy. Scott even singed a gender neutral bathroom bill.

He will not appoint a republican. His political career would be over in Vermont if he does that.

Scott will appoint a democrat or at least an independent that caucuses with Democrats.

I know just the man.

ETA: was this Mitch McConnell’s plan all along? Trump loses then he usurps the senate by having Leahy offed and replaced by a Republican Governor which is something mail in voting can’t beat?

This opens a very interesting scenario. Phil Scott is the republican governor of Vermont. If Leahy has to step down or dies then the Governor can replace him with a republican which would flip the balance of power in the Senate back to the republicans and make Harris as VP a mute point. It would also elevate Turtle back to majority leader.

absolutely no way a republican has the balls to pull of something so massive as that. He would cave to the relentless media pressure and appoint a democrat just to be "fair"

Then take the house in 2022 and impeach the whole fake administration. Imagine that...the balance of power rides on any one Dem in the senate right now.

Liberal Phil Scott is not appointing a republican to replace a democrat, especially a democrat that died in office.

It's Vermont people. It's not happening.

If Phil Scott ran for office in the south or the midwest, he would be a democrat.

Really sad that the country would be better off if 80% of them all fell over dead from covid and took Biden and Harris too.

The Democrats on this thread are realizing the Governor of Vermont is a Republican and have diagnosed him with either Putin poisoning him or Rand Paul gave him Covid bc he’s a “no mask wearing fascist”

The utter upside down funhouse mirror of a Democrat Brain is terrifying and amazing to witness. A libertarian doctor who thinks a mask is medically unnecessary intrusion, is a fascist:

Democrats are fricking idiots

These are the same people who are talking openly about sending people like us to re-education camps and deprogramming us.

Better for us that we dance on his grave than he dances on ours, because he surely would if given the chance.

That governor will not appoint a republican.

You should know this.

He already said he would appoint a democrat if Bernie Sanders took a job in the Biden admin.

And they have nothing to fear with Phil Scott.
