Senator, retires, wants to come back, senator again, retires.

Good riddance. He votes terribly anyway and is an old-timey McConnell crony.

Coats (IN) - 2016 - 64% (Average) - 49% (Creview) - 61% (Heritage) - 63% (CFG) - 83% (ACU) - 64% (FreedomWorks)

I’d say it’s an easy hold, but we lost an easy hold last time.

‘Twould seem that retiring from the senate would raise one’s prestige and respect.

At least, they could then claim that their sleaze, idiocy, and ability to be purchased has declined (somewhat) after leaving the “world’s most corrupt deliberative body”.

Congresscritters be d*mned.

Another one who needs to retire.....Juan McShame. He's *supposedly* pondering whether to run for re-election, again. I received an email from him (hmmmm...wonder who sold him my addy) saying he's considering running, but wants input from supporters.

Here's some input....

Blow?

I’ve heard that Coats is a RINO traitor. Well, maybe a blow to the GOP-e.

The RINOs are running from accountability (they think).

The EXEMPT owe the American people from whom they stole
while making THEMSELVES, their FAMILIES,
their STAFF, and their mistresses EXEMPT.

If Mike Pence won’t throw his hat in the ring for POTUS, he would fill this seat nicely IMHO....

Why is this a ‘blow’? Sounds like it could open a door to a true Conservative.

Isn’t Mike Pence Governor of Indiana? How are his conservative credentials?

Oh yawn, a GOP RINO retires and conservatives can't ever find a replacement so the state will go to a Democrat!!!

Glad they're happy to inform us of our hated loss!

This is a “blow” to the GOPe, not to Constitutional Conservatives.
