This is how you end up with people like McConnell that you can’t get rid of. Too afraid of the what if’s.I pray you never find out the error of this thinking…

There is a process to get rid of Young why not do it the right way?This is how you end up with people like McConnell that you can’t get rid of. Too afraid of the what if’s.
*your way?There is a process to get rid of Young why not do it the right way?
Voting for another candidate is the process. I see no requirement that the alternative be in the same party. You seem to believe that keeping a rino that we can’t trust is the best option. I disagree. Keeping him is a lifetime of legislative disappointmentThere is a process to get rid of Young why not do it the right way?
You are correct. It comes down to a numbers game and I would want the "R" in the majority over the "D". A lot can happen in the last 2 years of the FJB administration. I'm deathly afraid what would happen to the Supreme Court if a vacancy or two would open up and the "R" weren't in the majority. I'm in no way a butt kissing lap dog for the "R" but reality is reality for me. You folk's in Indiana are lucky to have 2 "R" in the senate for you. I have to deal with two "D" Senators and would gladly vote for a milk toast "R" to replace either one of them.
It is better to have a rep we cannot trust, than a rep we can trust to do everything we do not want.Voting for another candidate is the process.

Could you list some of these losses he caused?We were big losers in a LOT of legislation at a critical time, all because some Hoosiers "just couldn't bring themselves" to vote for a less than perfect republican.
Let's look at history here.Hoosiers are quick to forget (or even outright deny) that we had six years of having every single important senatorial vote cancelled by allowing a dem and republican to represent our state.
1. I suggest you do your own research. Not spending time on these things is how we got in this position in the first place.
2. Todd Young is worse than a democrat, he is a traitor. A democrat would be better. View attachment 217878
Agreed. We lost the chance to toss Young when no one primaried him and I can’t see a libertarian or conservative write-in doing anything in Indiana other than siphoning votes from the “official” Republican. Many vote straight party and they’d never run across the write-in option. The only possibility would be a massive public write-in campaign by someone with widespread name recognition who is going all out to win and no one fills that bill. Holcomb’s the only one I can envision who might have a shot, but (1) he’s not running and (2) might not be any better than Young if he did win! Just going to hold my nose and vote to try to make sure we keep two R senators and don’t risk getting a D who is guaranteed to cancel Braun all the time.In the years I've been associated with this board, rarely does anything get my blood circulating as fast as this topic. Yes, Young could and must be better aligned with typical Hoosiers. In contrast, have you seen Democrat Thomas McDermott's ads? You WILL NOT want to see him as our senator. I've said it before: He'll be a rubber stamp for every whacky democrat program. But that's not all -- oooh no it isn't! He'll want to outshine his fellow dems with even screwier ideas. Those of you not wanting to vote Republican, get a grip. It's a sad position to be in when we must vote against someone rather than for someone but it is necessary to vote against McDermott.
Looking at his voting record. Lots of donkeys and socialists hate Young. I didn't see any socialist voting. But if INGO says so, I guess I'll go ahead, cross my arms, stamp my foot and vote for a ***damned democrat. That will make things better.
Might as well he isn't much better.Looking at his voting record. Lots of donkeys and socialists hate Young. I didn't see any socialist voting. But if INGO says so, I guess I'll go ahead, cross my arms, stamp my foot and vote for a ***damned democrat. That will make things better.
