Some usual suspects but also some surprises?
Thanks for trying, Rand. It has to be frustrating, when so many in the GOP will say they support the cuts, but won’t actually vote that way. Most seem afraid to lead by example, and prefer to keep a very low public profile.
Rand is not.
“Some usual suspects but also some surprises?”
Surprises both ways. Cornyn voted for the measure. He must have forgotten to take his RINO pills.
He must have an election
Huh. Still hanging onto that gravy train, GOP?
“Surprises both ways. Cornyn voted for the measure. He must have forgotten to take his RINO pills.”
No surprise at all. He’s up for reelection in 2026.
That’s 26 more RINOs we need to vote out in the primaries.
LOL yes against Kenneth Paxton. Cornyn can already sense the heat
Did you forget the /s tag? Easier said then done!
And replaced by 26 more traitors
The Senate is fundamentally broken because bought, off well-known in-state perennials win elections i.e ex governors
It’s down to the 17th amendment. I think it needs to be repealed.
He could see that the bill was going down in flames, so he took advantage of that fact. Knowing that his vote in favor would not help actually pass the bill, he could throw it away with a "yes" vote and seemingly "look" like a conservative.
What are you gonna do?
A number of people say Rand grandstands and nothing else.
I disagree. I think he says what he means and he brings ideas and bills and amendments forth.
It’s just that too many Rs aren’t conservative OR libertarian.
They’re just politicians. And far too many primarily want to make big bucks while in office.
Legally or illegally
The Founder’s Great Compromise strikes once again, they would be terrified if they knew what the senate would evolve into. Repealing the 17th would be a place to start.
Great vote to have everyone on the record.
Now we know exactly where the corruption is....
So, does this mean we have to do this every for years, then?
Certainly not defending the action, but need more info. Was this a standalone bill or an amendment to another bill? Perhaps the bill was not the best and that’s why they voted against it? (I know, I know, not very likely). Though infuriating on the surface, I also don’t like judging merits based on a social media post title.
I agree it’s so hard to win statewide you get a lot of special interest entrenched candidates, ex-governors etc. Sometimes it can work out well but overall it doesn’t at least in GOP states
Get the 17th repealed and let state legislatures send relative unknowns
He is coming up for re-election he knew his vote wasn’t needed for the motion to fail, now he can tell the people he was voting in favor politician do that all the time
All bad Senators.
perennial problem half the GOP are awful
Meanwhile, a fundamental truth from Massie that is probably the real reason Trump is so against him:
