What about the other votes? Were they hardliners who will refuse to vote for anyone but a rino?

He may it not support it, and we have no numbers, but there’s going to be some money for Ukraine

Both sides of the Senate aisle are all in on that and the Potato in Chief will Veto anything and everything without it

Big improvement over McCarthy“

Well that is definitely an overstatement. A marginal improvement at best. Definitely better than Emmer. Not a true conservative. The reality is the 23 rino’s aren’t going to allow an actual conservative. Where he is on the Ukraine money laundering is the benchmark

“Thoughts?”

Johnson is a small guy with a big voice. He seems to be a leader, from his appearances in committee hearings.

I’m sure he has a bit of establishment in his makeup, but how many in DC don’t?

He is definitely one of the few good guys. We dodged a bullet today. Hopefully, he gets the assignment

I LIKE this guy! We could/have done far worse.

I hope he gets it. One of the good guys. NOT a RINO as someone said.
