he senators skipping out include Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. The lawmakers gave varying reasons for why they won't be at President Donald Trump's renominating convention. Some of those senators are not among Trump's favorites.

“”””Some of those senators are not among Trump’s favorites.”””

They are all ash holes, Jim.

[Texas Eagle]

Good.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Same a-holes who would be fine being the minority party forever..that way they dont have to actually do anything

[EagleUSA]

Yes, the usual RINO hate-Trump mongers. No loss.

“Mitt Romney of Utah, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.” Quite a group. I guess Grassley at least sometimes acts like he represents the people who voted for him.

That bunch won’t be missed.

[The Pack Knight]

Grassley’s 86, Alexander wants to let someone else be a delegate, and the rest don’t attend normally. What a scoop!

[Jane Long]

Good riddance, RINOs.

[a fool in paradise]

Will Mitt Romney be making a surprise appearance at the DNC convention this year?

MEMO TO: Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

I don’t care if they never attend the US Senate again.

How could the nation possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment? /sarc

[ClearCase_guy]

Is Joe Biden attending the Democrat Convention?

[rktman]

I thought the header was 'republican' senators. 😴😴😴

[redshawk]

Even if they were there, all they would be doing is conspiring ways to remove President Trump. Friends like these. ... Who needs enemies. ...

[plain talk]

Grassley probably figures at his age why bother and risk covid-19 exposure for a bunch of speeches he can watch on TV?

[vetvetdoug]

F’in RINOs. Don't they have anyone better in each one of those States that is a Republican?

[Mr. Jeeves]

This would be a great time for state legislatures to be able to directly replace their incompetent Senators. But the 17th Amendment ended the concept that Senators were the states’ representatives to DC and they immediately began to become instead DC’s representatives to the states.
