Started after Walker discussed labor issues w/ @VP Pence, Trump-style twitter war with Sen. Baldwin & speculation of bad WI budget this week

Hope not

If there was a third Republican to block DeVos, Murkowski and Collins wouldn't be voting against her in the first place.

Very good. In this context, being cynical is simply being accurate, in general.

So we go from a guy that is against the minimum wage to a guy who has declared unions public enemy no. 1?  Who's next on Trump's list?  krazen?

Puzder should be worried right now if I were him. If I were Trump I would drop Puzder immediately because he just is a liability now. Put someone good up like Peter Kirsanow who wouldn't be such a bad person to have in the cabinet.

Only one? Hard to believe. But it would fit well with America’s first orange president, who employed undocumented Polish workers at Trump Tower and even married one from Slovenia.

Puzder should withdraw, but if Walker is the replacement, it won’t be better.

Well, looks like we'll be chucking a grenade at public education and falling even further behind. Thanks, Congressional Republican schmucks! Thanks, Trump voters!
