He's all but guaranteed reelection. He has the R next to his name.Most of these guys have a single goal: get reelected.
Mitch and the crew had enough republican votes to get this passed and didn't need Young's vote yet he decided to jump on the train anyway. Why?
I'm guessing he either did have a 10-1 ratio of gun ban supporters contacting his office (and believed it truly represented his constituents), he had internal polling that showed it was popular or it was a quid pro quo for something else. It seems like the easier path would have been to vote no.
Does anyone believe that most voters will remember this vote in 6 years?
Exactly what I came to say. The new law doesn’t pass the test established in NY……Thankfully, the new Supreme Court Ruling made much of this law toothless, expect it to be challenged in court and quickly defeated.
Enough remembered long enough to show Dick Luger the door...He's all but guaranteed reelection. He has the R next to his name.
Does anyone believe that most voters will remember this vote in 6 years?
Understood. Our memory should be at least 6 years long. I am referring to 2028.Unfortunately, no one did. It's Young against Dem Thomas McDermott (mayor of Hammond) in November.
Unfortunately, caucusing matters. The R(INO) caucuses with the other R(INO)s.If the R acts like a D, I don't really think I have anything to loose. In the past, the R was many times "the lesser of the 2 evils" & the conservative candidate without the R initial was a wasted vote.
I think those days may be over.
Do you expect anything else from a D running for the Senate?McDermott is Hammond, IN.
FAR left on GUNS
Not sure if this should be in a separate thread. Young does have an independent running against him, Ellen Kizik.
I just found this, have only made it through 19min. but feel it's worth a watch.
