Hopefully senators starring in the failure theater production of ‘debating’ the SAVE America Act heard Indiana’s message loud and clear.
Indiana conservatives just sent a message to RINOs everywhere: FAFO. These voters are mad as hell and they’re not going to vote for spineless Republicans anymore.Hopefully GOP senators performing in the failure theater production of “debating” the SAVE America Act heard Indiana’s message loud and clear.
Most of the Republican Indiana state Senate candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump won primary races Tuesday against incumbents who voted with Democrats to stop a congressional redistricting bill. As of late Tuesday evening, The New York Times election results showed challengers picked up at least five of the seven state Senate seats targeted by Trump and allied conservatives groups. Republican primary voters rejected politicians standing on “fairness” principles while Democrats employ every weapon in their political arsenal to wrest back control of the U.S. House.
Indiana Sen. Jim Banks helped drive the campaign to oust the incumbents who helped kill a mid-decade redrawing of the red state’s congressional maps. The redistricting plan, urged by Trump, would have given Republicans two additional seats in a House of Representatives with a razor-thin GOP majority.
“Everyone in Indiana politics should have learned an important lesson today: President Trump is the single most popular Republican among Hoosier voters,” Banks said in a statement. “Indiana is a conservative state, and we deserve conservatives in our State Senate who have a pulse on Republican voters.”

“Everyone in Indiana politics should have learned an important lesson today: President Trump is the single most popular Republican among Hoosier voters. Indiana is a conservative state, and we deserve conservatives in our State…Trump and his political action committee allies are ready to spend to jettison Republicans who don’t see the next two election cycles as existential battles. And they have a lot of money to take on RINOs and leftists heading into the midterms.
The Indiana Senate Republican primaries generated $13.5 million in ad spending, a 4,736 percent increase from the last cycle, according to ad tracker AdImpact. The brunt of the spending poured in from Trump-allied groups targeting the incumbents.

‘I’m Disappointed’
The Senate is out this week. Again. Majority leadership could be fighting for the SAVE America Act, holding the floor open for debate until enough obstructionist Democrats break. They’re not. Even when they’re in session they haven’t shown much urgency for the popular election integrity package that requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections, and photo ID at the polls.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has said he supports the bill but, by golly, there’s just no way to get around that 60-vote filibuster. There is, but it seems the same senators who like to talk about election integrity don’t want to work all that hard to get it. See: Talking Filibuster.
Trump has called on Republicans to use the “nuclear option,” as Democrats did more than a decade ago, to blow up the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act and other key conservative measures. Thune has said nuking the filibuster is a nonstarter in his conference. Republicans are worried about what Democrats might do with the power when they’re back in control. --->READ MORE HERE
