“When the time comes let’s primary the jerks that ask for our vote again.”

Good idea. We got rid of Scott Tipton in the primary.

I can understand Grassley..doesnt surprise me. He isnt well and should have quit a while ago.

The rest? It was expected.

BTW, you Mormons got yourself another man who proves you cant be trusted. He is no different than Harry Reid.

Fine and dandy !

Give their convention seats to some specially-chosen, decorated war-hero guests.

Let these seats be occupied by true, patriotic Americans veterans who love their countries and aren't all twisted into shells full of hate and disrespect for our nation and its traditions such as political conventions.

And the vet-guests will love and appreciate it!

Only five but they are taking something out the economic picture.
Transportation, housing, meals, all impact several industries.
Granted not a lot but something in the economic slowdown.

I thought for sure they’d want to show up and stand outside to protest with Antifa and BLM. They’re just chicken-shit to go and be criticized by American Patriots.

I would cut some slack to Grassley and Alexander, who are both old enough to be concerned about the virus.

The only thing good about the commies taking over is that surely they’d abolish the U.S. Senate.

I won’t hold it against Grassley, due to his age.

The others are NeverTrumpers, so no surprise and it’ll be better without them there. They really should attend the Dem convention anyhow.

Grassley is pretty old...Probably best for him to stay home.

The other 4....same story different day....They need to be replaced with something better.

Alexander is also pretty old, and his routine is VERY old. The scene has passed him by.

“I guess Grassley at least sometimes acts like he represents the people who voted for him.”

Grassley is old and doesn’t want to risk getting Covid19.

That makes sense, and he’s a little more reliable than the others. Alexander is also pretty old, but he’s also one to stab Trump in the back given the chance.

I already knew it would be the usual assholes, so - no news here.

“Republican” in the headline should be in quotes.

Grassley will be 87 on Sept. 17th. time he retire, and ALexander is retiring and not running for re election...he knows he would not win...so he is leaving...FINALLY..

AGE DOES MATTER AND WE NEED TERM LIMITS AND AGE LIMITS...SO MANY IN CONGRESS ARE ALREADY IN THE 80 YEAR AGE BRACKET... on both sides of the aisle...
For democrats...NANCY P., STENY H. MAXIE P. and so many others...but those three are the loud mouth talkers.. they all need to go...

We need to vote RED and get the House back...and we MUST KEEP THE SENATE..THIS CURRENT CONGRESS IS WORTHLESS...BOTH REP. AND DEM...

At Grassley’s age I can see him skipping it to avoid covid.
