Lets see out of 54 R voting senators the GOP-e will need...
Don’t know what the tie breaking procedures are, but the Chamber of Farce would need 28 Rs voting for someone else.
We can assume who they likely will be. I’ll start.
McConnell
McCain
Graham
Rubio
Corker(TN weak sister)
Alexander (other TN weak sister)
Cochran (puppet)
Flake
Enzi
There’s 8. They need 20 more to vote for Enzi...
Thanks for the info.
Some other possible GOP/GOPe traitorous senators:
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Mark Kirk
Johnny Isakson
Rob Portman
Orrin Hatch
Rand Paul
I believe it's the members of the committee who vote for chairman, not members of the entire caucus. The Republican members right now are Enzi, Sessions, Grassley, Ayotte, Crapo, Graham, Portman, Toomey, Johnson and Wicker. Becoming the majority will add two Republicans to the committee. Republicans chosen by McConnell. If Sessions is serious about shutting down the government with additions to the budget then I don't see McConnell letting him chair the committee. There are already 7 or 8 votes against him. McConnell will add two more.
