and were he in danger of losing the vote, McConnell wouldn't have summoned up 2 more votes? Really? For an FCC confirmation?

Also it looks like in the Senate you need a majority of the vote, not 50 votes So had those 4 dems not voted for it, I believe he still would have been confirmed 48-45 (assuming all yeas turned to nays)
So actually, McConnell wouldn't have to flip a single vote. Even if every Dem who didn't vote or voted yea filpped to nay, it would be 48-48 with 4 (republican) abstentions, and Pence would break the tie for confirmation.

You're bad a Twitter, you should just get outraged and ignore actual facts, everyone knows that.
