  1. Uh-huh...Democrats lost control of the House but want to write the budget until next September. If ANY Republican in either chamber votes for this, they should be run out of the party! This had better be BLOCKED in the Senate. Do a continuing resolution through January 31 and then let the Republican controlled House write a new budget. And -0- out the budgets of the FBI, CDC and NIH.

  2.  @politicallyincorrect9027  They don't need a party and can think for themselves. They're called "Independents". You can even register to vote as an Independent (if your state has partisan voter registration) Bernie Sanders, Angus King and Kirsten Sinema are examples of Independents currently in Congress. Joe Lieberman was another. Lisa Murkowski once lost the Republican primary, ran as an independent, WON, and rejoined the Republican party. Bill Clinton won the Presidency, TWICE, because an Independent, Ross Perot, drew enough votes away from the Republican to allow Clinton to win with just 43% of the vote. Teddy Roosevelt had been a Republican President from 1901-1909, left office and came back to run as an Independent in 1912. He drew enough votes to throw the election into the House of Representatives for a decision. You knew all of that, right?

  3.  @russty5692  It was a valid question. There are currently 3 Independents serving in the Senate. There have been many others.
