Fifteen Democrats (and Maine?s Angus King, who caucuses with the Democrats) joined all 50 Senate Republicans present in casting a cloture vote for Trump?s billionaire pick for Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross last Friday.
Ross is not just your ordinary 79-year-old billionaire so often accused of cheating that he can semi-plausibly claim to Congress his failure to disclose an active 8 figure lawsuit against him was because he got it confused with other lawsuits against him.
And Ross is not just your typical billionaire paper pusher private equity guy whose manipulation of markets has hurt the American workers on whose behalf he professes to be interested in creating jobs.
