A) On procedural vote to break a filibuster on the infrastructure bill, 18 GOPers voted yes alongside Dems.
They were:
Blunt, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Cramer, Crapo, Fischer, Grassley, Hoeven, McConnell, Murkowski, Portman, Risch, Romney, Rounds, Tillis & Young
B) Six senators did not vote: Barrasso, Burr, Graham, Rubio, ScottSC & Warnock

These GOP'ers are acting as if the Midterm Variant is a done deal.
Now we all have more evidence on the RINOs who will face our wrath in the 2022 GOP primary elections.
It will really have to work hard to squeeze onto the GOP as there are already so many others.
Time and again they prove they are not really the "Loyal Opposition"!
*Almost half of these Senators are safe for six more years.*
Eight if the 18 are up next year. Many are old and may choose to pass. Of the wannabe RINO’s who is gonna take on Young? Some eccentric is taking on Thune-fat chance. Who is going to take on the winners of 3-4 statewide elections? I’m talking Risch, Hoeven, Crapo. Alaskans mean business when it comes to Murkowski. The rest are asleep at the switch.
The issue is not that they voted for this, but they got no agreement to stop the :.5 trillion additional ‘deal’ the Dems intend to ram through..
It is a fool’s errand to think a political party can restore free government.
<>The sooner we bottom-out the better.<>
Okay, I’ll bite.
What happens after bottoming out?
Rubio opposes the Cuban communist regime.
You don’t like that?
Rubio was elected to represent the people of Florida and not the people of Cuba. He needs to get his priorities in line.
This is why the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed ! He represents the state not a particular demographic !
So you are saying that a US Senator should have nothing to do with foreign affairs?
Should the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations be abolished?
We have thousands of Chicom flu infected illegals pouring into Florida. Rubio, apparently, couldn’t care less about them infecting us.
Here is the oath of office a Senator swears to. Nothing about Cuba in it.
Oath of Office
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Six senators did not vote: Barrasso, Burr, Graham, Rubio, ScottSC & Warnock.
When are they up for a challenge for the seats?
