Am I missing something? It says online that 6 republicans broke ranks...

Also, anyone know who didn't vote? Vote totals on one bill are 96 and the other are 97...

Six Republicans voted for the Democratic-backed proposal: Senators Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, Cory Gardner, Lisa Murkowski, Johnny Isakson and Mitt Romney
As I said sometime late last year, I suspect Mitt Romney is going to be a closet democrat. You can't be governor of Massachusetts and be particularly conservative.

Like Senator Bennett from Colorado said today, the Freedom Caucus runs the government. IIRC, he also said a 46 Billion dollar bill passed the Senate with 68 votes in 2013 that doubled the border patrol and provided for 350 miles of barrier, but the Freedom Caucus voted it down.

No surprise


Alexander is retiring
Gardner,Romney,Murkowski,Collins and Isakson are RINO'S so no surprise. Hopefully Gardner and Collins and get primaried in 2020 I expect them both to lose anyways so mine as well primary them with TRUE republicans. Murkowski and Isakson aren't up until 2022

Fine with me. Rather be a destroyed country than a country run by Anti American leftists and their RINO pals. If its destroyed we can rebuild or break it into smaller nations and either the war that happens if it falls apart or the new nations made after the country collapsing can determine who is allowed in them.
