The Senate has a solid Republican majority now that John Kennedy has been elected as LA's new senator. Thankfully a conservative Kennedy :-)
"Louisiana Republican John Kennedy new US Senator
Published December 10, 2016 Associated Press
Louisiana voters have chosen Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy to fill the state's open U.S. Senate seat, giving the GOP a 52-48 edge in the chamber.
Saturday's election settled the nation's last Senate seat for the term beginning in January. Kennedy was the front-runner the entire time.
He defeated Democrat Foster Campbell, a state utility regulator whose chances were seen as such a long-shot that national Democratic organizations offered little assistance to Campbell's campaign.
The victory was a long-sought one for Kennedy, an Oxford-educated lawyer in his fifth term as treasurer. Kennedy had tried unsuccessfully twice before to win a U.S. Senate seat, running first in 2004 as a Democrat and the most recent two times as a Republican.
The seat is open because Republican David Vitter didn't seek re-election."

Darn Russians probably had something to do with this. We want a recount. I'm sure Trump and Pence supporting him had nothing to do with it. In any event chalk another Senate seat in the win column.

The 'Dump' probably did load his chest. I just hope this Kennedy makes it clear that it doesn't mean he bought his vote. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders. We need Military built up, and what our troops need provided. No bs 'let's have 14 committees look at it first'.

I am going to echo what SFC William Farrell said earlier...it is great to see a Kennedy as a Republican. Growing up in Massachusetts, it was always Democrats...Kennedy Democrats at that LTC Stephen F.
