Blunt is retiring, so...
N/m I was thinking of someone else
from Hot Air:
Two are the chief negotiators on the bill, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, neither of whom will face voters again until 2026. Three of the gang are retiring and have nothing to fear from voters — — Blunt, Burr, and Portman. Several others are either centrists or have shown flashes of centrism before, making their support less surprising — Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, Romney, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Lindsey Graham. Five of those six aren’t up for reelection either.
The surprises are the senators who represent rural red states and typically vote the conservative line — Joni Ernst of Iowa and Todd Young of Indiana. Ernst is a member of leadership, though, and may have felt pulled to give Cornyn a vote of confidence. She won’t face voters for another four years. Young is a wild card since he’s one of the two members of the group who are up for reelection in November. But the timing of this vote is important: He already won this year’s Senate primary, which was held on May 3.
Blunt's possible replacement includes disgraced former Missouri Governor Eric "tag and bag" Grietens (shudder)
Hey, kudos for Missouri's lawsuit...
Hmmm. I'm usually not a Jim Hoft / GP consumer but we'll see where this goes.
"the conservative line" = school shootings are awesome.
The Democrat line - Make law abiding gun owners pay politically for bad government and the coward cops from Uvalde
The Trump line - there's too damned many Republicans in Congress ;)
I think you mean RINO's, beamish. :)
Donald Trump is a RINO lol
Not in Calvin Coolidge's Republican Party.
Especially in Calvin Coolidge's Republican Party.
The only remote comparison between Coolidge and Trump is Coolidge's support of the Fordney–McCumber Tariff, which damaged the US economy to the tune of $300 million per year (nearly $9 Billion in 2022 dollars) when targeted countries retaliated with their own tariffs. That doesn't seem like much but the US GDP in 1923 under Coolidge was growing by 13%. Still, Trump should have learned something from the post-Coolidge tariff regimes and trade wars that started the Great Depression. Trump still thinks the Great Depression only occurs when he runs out of Sudafed to snort.
Trump grew the economy by what? Maybe 2.9% before Covid?
Probably not a fair comparison. Coolidge oversaw a manufacturing boom. Trump wasn't interested in manufacturing anything but bullshit.
