The U.S. Senate already has one Arlen Specter too many.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Senator Arlen Specter hasn't really switched parties; he's simply realized he cannot win the Pennsylvania Republican primary election.
I believe being a good senator requires two things. Number one, acumen. Number two, interest.
I've come to realize that an unencumbered U.S. senator is a profound threat to the whole system. It's somebody that they can't put in a box and say, 'Oh, well, we know how this guy is going to vote.'

Arlen Specter is a scoundrel.
Senate Republicans have engaged in a record number of filibusters and other obstructionist tactics.
There are some Senate candidates who aren't sure Trump is in their interest yet, but they'll come along.
Finally, we need more Border Patrol agents. Although Congress has already tripled the number of Border Patrol agents since the late 1980s, more are still needed.
We have a lot of thoughtful people in the U.S. Senate.
The Senate cannot confirm an individual... who would support a scheme that violates our Constitution, eviscerates congressional authority.
