Today at noon, the United States Senate is expected to vote to confirm Trump nominee Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education. The vote is expected to be 50-50 with the tie broken by Vice President Mike Pence. The two usual suspects, Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) have made it known they will vote with the Senate Democrats against Betsy DeVos for Education. Collins and Murkowski regularly vote with the Democrats on Teachers’ Union issues.

Using the movie “Animal House” as a guiding principle, the Senate Democrats decided that this situation “absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part”. To protest the Betsy DeVos nomination as Secretary of Education the Senate Dems decided to #HoldTheFloor and throw an all night Trumper Tantrum. And, by the by, if it is not illegal the Trump family should register Trumper Tantrum with the trademark office and make money from it becuase there are a lot of Trumper Tantrums being thrown.
