Senate GOP not happy with Trump beatdown of Tillis

What an enjoyable article. The pantywaist 'Republicans' all upset.

Tillis has a Conservative Review Liberty score of 49%.

He's been worthless for years.

[FLT-bird]

All this highlights is that we have several more RINOs in the Senate to purge.

Full speed ahead with flushing Cornyn, Cassidy, Graham and hopefully Moore-Capito down the toilet in 2026.

[Adder]

I was looking forward to voting for his primary opponent.

Tillis is a RINO of the worst kind.

That said, I am not sure which Republican can replace him and defeat Royboy Cooper [I presume]. Lara Trump, maybe?
Dunno.

Senate GOP not happy about accountability.

[quantim]

Tillis is the kissin’ cousin of Cornyn and a perfect example of why this country is a mess that it is.

[Political Junkie Too]

Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) called Tillis’s sudden retirement after the blowup with Trump “a setback” for his party.

“Sen. Thom Tillis is one of the most effective and collegial members that I have ever served with in the United States Senate. His announcement is a big setback for the Senate and the Republican Conference,” he posted on the social platform X.

Yeah, that's what we want in the Senate -- collegiality -- when we have a bull in the White House.

And...?

[Az Joe]

I’m dissatisfied too. Tillis should resign today, not simply wait until his term ends in ‘27.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Alexander Bolton has thoughts.

[jacknhoo]

The Hill may as well be Media Matters.

[tired&retired]

Tillis is Deep State.

Time to “beat down” more RINO’s.

[Qwapisking]

Not surprising because they know they’re next.

[Lee'sGhost]

I understand the sentiment, but that’s not a good idea. The establishment would replace him with another RINO who would then have incumbency to ride into the primaries.

[napscoordinator]

It’s going to suck seeing a democrat in the seat. We’ve seen this movie played out too much. Arizona and Georgia just two examples.

[Mr. K]

Then Tillis should have kept his big stupid mouth shut

[Eccl 10:2]

I like the idea of Lara Trump. NC is a red state who just hasn’t been able to come up with good candidates at the top of the ticket in recent years.

A term or two at Senator would also put her in position for a chance at POTUS.

[mewzilla]

Good.

[Sirius Lee]

Tillis is highly regarded among colleagues as a team player

Yeah, for the other team. What a complete jackass and POS tillis is.

[Hyman Roth]

Ugggh Tillis. Yuk.

[Hyman Roth]

Yeah Roy Cooper is the Golden Child in NC. Long time radio host, Phil Valentine, RIP, grew up with Cooper in Nashville, NC. Cooper has been a douche since kindergarten he said. But I’m going to do my best to keep Cooper out.
