These Republican Senators Should Be Subjected To Maximum Pressure to Defy Trump Over The Next 2 Yrs.

Trump thinks he’ll rule the roost because Republicans control the Senate. But actually, TWENTY of his cronies will be defending their seats in two years, and may not be too eager to have the words ‘Trump sycophant’ hung around their necks.

In two years, the Senate map will be the REVERSE of what it was this time. 20 Republicans defending, many in vulnerable positions. Only 12 Democrats defending, all in safe territory except for Doug Jones.

Therefore, THESE Republican senators should be subjected to MAXIMUM PRESSURE to defy Trump over the next two years.

Cory Gardner-Colorado (BIG pressure point)
Susan Collins-Maine (Probably won’t stick around for the Kavanagh backlash. High pressure point if she stays.)
David Perdue-Georgia (Georgia no longer a Republican stronghold)
Jim Risch-Idaho (vulnerable on tariff issues)
Lindsey Graham-South Carolina (Will probably be in Trump’s cabinet by then. Open seat.)
John Cornyn-Texas (Run Beto against him!)
Shelley Moore Capito-West Virginia (How are those coal jobs working out for ya?)
Mike Enzi-Wyoming (hand Liz and Dick Cheney around his neck)
Joni Ernst-Iowa
Pat Roberts-Kansas
Dan Sullivan-Alaska
Steve Daines-Montana
Ben Sasse-Nebraska
Jim Inhofe-Oklahoma
Mike Rounds-South Dakota
Tom Cotton-Arkansas (that’ll be a tough nut to crack)
Lamar Alexander-Tennessee
Tom Tillis-North Carolina
Bill Cassidy-Louisiana
Mitch McConnell (Probably won’t stick around, it’ll be an open seat)

Well Inhofe may not run again, and if he doesn't they will run Mary Fallin. redstatebluegirl Nov 2018 #1
I guess you also have to be a climate denier? It's too bad the election is not held in August. TrollBuster9090 Nov 2018 #2
It honestly would not matter, the majority of the voters here are not bright enough to understand. redstatebluegirl Nov 2018 #3

In Oklahoma all it takes is an R behind your name and all the baptist pastors tell their people to vote for them. The rural oklahoman's will not vote for a D at all.

I'd like to see Senator Snowball claiming climate change is a hoax in 120F heat.
