I'd go as far as to primary any of the other 9 idiot Republicans that put their support behind this travesty.

I will bet you $1000 his democrat replacement won’t vote for a single bill favored by Trump. In some states a pure as wind driven snow conservative can never get elected. So I accept a Rino over any Democrat from that state or district.
My Congress critter is a Democrat.
Like I said, I wouldn’t want my Congress critter voting with the Squad.

Great, but who buys a car to get a hood ornament that owns itself, but has no tires and no working engine?
I use to think how stupid Democrats were because they mindlessly worship their political gods who say all the right things but never actually do anything.
I now see “Conservative Inc” is the same way. Worship the words ignore the complete failure of the posturing politician to actually DO anything.
All this grandstanding and chest thumbing does is maintain the Swamp’s hold over DC. It intellectually infantile and politically useless.
I agree he might work harder to get legislation passed. But in a totally corrupt Congress...
Yes and they also voted for far more useful bills that Massie ever has. Massie is an posturing attention whore who has done nothing but spew nice sounding words his whole time in Congress.
Being 100 pure and useless is worse then being 60-70% pure act accomplishing good things
Conservative Inc been screaming the same useless posturing purity posts here for almost 30 years now and accomplished nothing. They the best PR bots for the Swamp has working for them.
I would take Massie and Rand Paul over these two fake republicans in a second
I take ANY Republican who can get elected.
Oh sure...I guess that explains away some of his votes such as voting to protect Adam Schiff, against sanctioning organ harvesters, etc.
I bet you’d vote for Mike Lawler from NY who is sponsoring the Dignity Act which is blanket amnesty for illegals. Yeah that’s a Republican I can support /spit
In the end, politics is compromise/accommodation to agree to move something forward. It has always been thus.

I missed that. What vote was that?!?
Agreed.
Okay, I’m guessing this was related to the organ harvesting issue:

What did Massie do? And how did he protect Shiff?
Oh, wait: Found the organ harvesting stuff. When Massie and Greene oppose the rest of the House, there’s likely something to their position, and sounds like here there is:
Like Pogo, we are about to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
The Trump coalition is a coalition. In KY we have Massie up for re-election every 2 years; Sen Rand Paul who often agrees with Massie; and an open seat being vacated by the true enemy Mitch McConnel.
The strategic and tactical issue is who will fill McConnel’s seat? Divisiveness just makes the Senate seat likely Democrat.
Okay, I found the Schiff thing.
A bill to fine a sitting congressman $16 million? I can see how Massie would see that as poor precedent.

“We have one congress critter who hasn’t taken the AIPAC pledge/money and...”
They are prolific with the bribe money.
