so, sneaky tom claims he has enough senators to pass legislation, but won't tell us who they are. he has also just put the champlain bridge up for sale, but won't tell us where he got the jurisdiction from; his good friend philip is on the record as responding with "i shakes me head".

the last time i looked at the senate, it had a bare minority of conservatives required to pass legislation, dozens of vacancies and a rump liberal minority that has been disowned by his party.

so, we're to believe that he's managed to convince the entirety of that rump liberal minority, along with over a dozen harper appointed senators?

don't worry. he'll tell us who they are after we elect him. and don't forget to look at his other offers, including the champlain bridge.

he has dozens of open seats. the first thing he'll do is fill them.

this is the kind of absurdly irrational lie that destroys careers, because it takes precisely no careful thought to realize he's lying through his teeth on it. he'd better hope that very few people are actually prioritizing this as a voting issue, or he's digging another shovel into his own grave every time he opens his mouth on it.
