I'm glad Hawley didn't vote for FISA renewal. He's setting up for a '28 run.

When McConnell has enough votes he let's Tim Scott wander off the plantation.

I can’t fault people for seeing the errors of their ways and evolving for the better. Just as I can’t condemn people that were once neocons 20 years ago.

It’s the unrepentant steadfast ones that I accept for who they are for their persistence in evil.

What about the ones who only feign support to follow political trends?

Should be noted that Rand didn't vote.

Generally I like him.

As it stands now he seems to have the charisma to be presidential material.

It's okay to praise someone for doing something good today.

I agree. What I know of him/seen of him, I like.

3 Republicans didn't vote. Scott was one of them along with Paul and Tuberville

I did notice Merkley, Sanders and Welch voted no

I know a dead clock is right twice a day but that shocked me a little.

Shocker, neither of the La Senators are in that list. Kennedy and Cassidy need to go.

I'm afraid it's too late for this.

Disqualifiers were Omnibus and the first Ukraine aid package. Of the people on the ballot in November, only 3 senators were a NO on both of those:
Blackburn
Hawley
Braun

Braun is retiring I believe, so he's out.
Blackburn later refused to vote YES on a resolution to affirm that our Constitution takes precedence over the NATO treaty, so she's now out.

That leaves only Hawley on the ballot in November, for the Senate, that should get consideration.

No Democrats at all. No Republican but Hawley. Rand Paul isn't on the ballot in November, if you're wondering. Only 33% of the Senate will be on the ballot every two years.

Can't let these people make votes to screw the nation early on, and then give them a chance right before the election to say, "See, I'm a good guy!" This is how they game things and manipulate you while destroying the nation. Imagine if these people had some balls on the first Ukraine vote - we'd be in a much better place right now.

Here are the Senators that voted NO on aid to Ukraine the first time. If they are not on this list they are out. If a name shows up here, is on the ballot in November, and then shows up on the list below it, they are out:
Blackburn (R-TN)
Boozman (R-AR)
Braun (R-IN)
Crapo (R-ID)
Hagerty (R-TN)
Hawley (R-MO)
Lee (R-UT)
Lummis (R-WY)
Marshall (R-KS)
Paul (R-KY)
Tuberville (R-AL)

Republican Senators that voted for the Omnibus:
* Roy Blunt (Missouri)
* John Boozman (Arkansas)
* Shelley Capito (West Virginia)
* Susan Collins (Maine)
* John Cornyn (Texas)
* Tom Cotton (Arkansas)
* Lindsey Graham (South Carolina)
* Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma)
* Mitch McConnell (Kentucky)
* Jerry Moran (Kansas)
* Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
* Rob Portman (Ohio)
* Mitt Romney (Utah)
* Mike Rounds (South Dakota)
* Richard Shelby (Alabama)
* John Thune (South Dakota)
* Roger Wicker (Mississippi)
* Todd Young (Indiana)

Every Democrat was a YES for Omnibus and Ukraine aid. Every Democrat in Congress should be voted out in November.

In the House we are left with Biggs, Crane, Rosendale, Goode, Gaetz.
They were a NO on Omnibus, Ukraine, and McCarthy. Had the rest of the Republicans refused to vote for a liar and Dem rubber stamp in McCarthy, and forced the party to find someone with some balls to begin with, we wouldn't be watching Mike Johnson toss our Constitution into the fire right now. McCarthy was a YES on omnibus and Ukraine and not once in his career has he failed to vote for a measure that increases our debt. He was known as Pelosi Light. Everything we're seeing now could have been, and should have been avoided with the first Speaker vote.

MTG and Massie seem to have seen the light on this Speaker stuff, so maybe they get a mulligan here.
The rest of them are still "we shouldn't be so rash with Johnson" while he becomes the most important person for the Democrat agenda. If your argument is, 'we would have just gotten Johnson instead of McCarthy at first' that's fine - that means he would have folded at the outset, McCarthy would already be a non-option, and Johnson could have been dumped back when Republicans had a much larger margin.

If your argument is, "we have to keep voting for Republicans because Dem voters will vote for Dems so we can't oust Republicans, they are the only obstacle to Democrats", well, the Republicans are the Democrats. Vote them out and put new people in that won't go along with the Democrat agenda.

If you're counting, that is 8 people that are qualified to even get consideration for November. That's less than 2% of Congress.
