GOP, Democratic lawmakers to travel to Denmark to discuss Greenland

[BumRushDaShow]

9. These 2 (R)s who were going on this trip

Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) - and particularly Tillis, who is not running again, have bucked 45.

Tillis was the one who said he would be blocking ALL Fed nominees after the Powell investigation was announced for example, and Murkowski gave an almost 30 minute speech trashing 45 about "taking Greenland" -

Murkowski warns Trump: Taking Greenland would be ‘a colossal mistake’

What happens thanks to the media (that we do NOT OWN, as I repeat over and over and over and over again) - if you have all one party (and particularly Democrats) doing "events" like this, then they will dub it "partisan" (in a negative sense). And we should normally NOT care about that but it starts up a narrative. If you have at least "one" of another party, you can call it "bipartisan" and catch the attention of the independent voters, who are an increasing share of the electorate. Unfortunately, we can't win without them.

The (D)s who are going per the OP are -

Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) - all Senate, and Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) and Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) - those latter in the House.

As a note, Madeleine Dean is the rep for one of my sisters and my niece participated in a summer program sponsored by her. She also served as one of the Impeachment Managers for 45's 2nd Impeachment.
