Republican. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky revealed this week that there are at least 10 Senate Republicans who will betray President Donald Trump and vote against his national emergency declaration.
While speaking at the Southern Kentucky Lincoln Day Dinner late Saturday, Paul said that he couldn’t “vote to give extra-constitutional powers to the president.”

Great excuses. Sorry to interrupt your entertainment.
some have said it’s ‘not an emergency’ despite border agents saying over and over again it is an emergency (I said crisis- i should have said emergency- but some are claiming it’s not an emergency- there is a clear emergency when you look at the massive crimes/murders/rapes etc committed by illegals in this country- border agents know of the crimes these illegals are committing, and know first had it’s an emergency-)-
“U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who represents Kentucky’s 4th Congressional district, was one of the few Republicans to vote in favor of blocking Trump’s declaration.
On Twitter last week, Massie said he agreed with the president’s stance on border security, but not with his methods.
“There is a crisis at our border, but it’s not an emergency when Congress doesn’t spend money how the President wants.”

More to primary.
Don’t be a dupe. That’s what the GOP is counting on. The GOP is corrupt at it’s core and unreformable.
The current GOP batch will retire to K Street millions and the Uniparty will run some fresh faces for the rubes on main street to vote for. The lobbyist fueled Uniparty party is the problem. The useless beltway careerists are just a symptom of the uniparty disease.
After electing the TEA Party candidates and Trump we should be able that see we’re way past primaires changing anything. Whenever we get close to victory the GOP will just collude with Democrats and prevent conservative America First policy.
“The RNC, NRSC, NRCC, the GOP election apparatus only supports Bush League Republicans.”
Each of these RNC apparitions has contacted me asking for money. I cannot write down what I told them when unsubscribing.
It is a shorter list
Deserving of re-election: Inhofe, Sullivan, Cotton, Perdue, Risch, Ernst, Cassidy.
Vote all you want, but the fact remains incumbents win at a clip of 95% (+).
I was about to post the same thing if no one else posted it. Good on ya, Doodle.
TY. Wow, she(patriotnurse) is too young to be that wise and articulate. Spot on is right. Thanks for the link.
I wasn’t sorry this idiot got his ass kicked. Not even when the story broke.
Beat me to it.
Who ever wrote that piece is badly in need of a Civics lesson.
why would Ted Cruz be on the list instead of John Cornyn?
Because above all else our favorite Cubanandian, Teddy Bear Cruz, is a virtue signalling “constitionalist.” If there is one thing I have learned from the Age of Trump it is never vote for a US Senator for POTUS.
Rand Paul.
The republican version of AOC.
Yep. Hair and teeth included. Ha ha.
During Bush43’s admin, a bill was passed that authorized a lot of wall for many billions of dollars, and another bill authorizing those dollars to be spent for the wall.
If memory serves me, the following day, Kay Bailey Hutchinson proposed a bill reducing the amount authorized to be spent for the wall to zero dollars, and it passed.
More recently, Republicans agreed to a bill authorizing $1.xB to be spent for the wall, as agreed to by a conference committee.
I bet that, if somebody were willing to do the research, we’d find more than one Senator who has voted for all three of those bills.
I think we need to take a long hard look at voting machines. I doubt they are honest.
At this stage, the nation probably can't be saved. Best situation might be for President Trump to veto this and let it get to the SC to define what can and cannot be done by Executive Order.
Why didn't the 'pubs do this to Obama's Executive Orders? I'll answer my own question....because they don't really care about the issues on which they campaign.
“It’s pretty clear that we no longer have a representative republic and haven’t had for quite some time. Our elected “representatives” represent someone other than us.”
Ain’t that the truth.
You’re in your own world. You have no idea what I’m saying.
Ted Cruz?
Wtf.
He is now dead to me.
This is obviously the work of Los Hermanos el Koch.
Anyone who doesn’t own firearms and have a “reasonable” amount of ammunition for them is a fool. Too many variables pushing this country towards real violence.
When....not if.
