Lt CHEGBill Cassidy of Louisiana primaried/// ***Update: And Massie is gone!
Personally,, I can’t get excited about voting out one of the most reliable second amendment supporters in Congress. Hopefully Massie’s replacement will vote as reliably for the second amendment as Massie did. When it comes to national politics, the second amendment is my ultimate priority and about the only thing that interests me in national politics since both parties have completely abandoned any semblance of limiting government. The safety of Israel, Ukraine, Europe or really anyplace aside from the United States simply aren’t as important to me as maintaining our individual Liberty through a well armed populace. Now more than ever the importance of individual citizens possessing modern, highly capable weaponry, capable of defending against the small arms of a peer level military cannot be dismissed. I simply hope that the steadfast support of the second amendment by even one Congress person isn’t a casualty of the desire for President Trump to further his agenda.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” May 20, 2026, 08:21 AM

This is where I'm at too.

We don't know much about Ed Gallrein...
Gallrein, 68, is a relative newcomer to politics. He ran a low-key campaign by refusing to debate Massie and generally avoiding the press. His chief selling points were his military service, his endorsement by Trump and his promise to be a reliable vote for the president’s policies.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Yup, when the leftists like Ro Khanna and Jared Polis mourn the defeat of one of “ours”, you have to wonder.

I do not mind debating actual politics - I find personal attacks reprehensible.

Yes, thank you.
It was a Republican primary. It was hard fought on both sides. We can disagree on policy (BBB, Iran war, releasing all Epstein files, etc.) without personal attacks. Now, the primary is over. Let's get back to fighting the Democrats.
President Ronald Reagan once said, “The person who agrees with you 80% of the time is a friend and an ally—not a 20% traitor.”
I love this reminder. In today’s world, we won’t agree on everything—and that’s okay. What matters is that we stand together on the big things, work respectfully on the rest, and keep moving forward with optimism and common sense.

yaniciSo now both Massie and Cassidy will become a real pita to any issue that Trump is in favor of. Those slim margins in the House and Senate just got tighter.
Edit to add Cornyn to the list above to act like a woman scorned.

I think that they"ll be as relevant as Marjorie Greene. They've all burned their bridges.

ElToroCassidy I could care less. He voted to impeach and then doubled down in interviews years later after more evidence came forward. F him.
Massie reminds of Ron Paul. Votes no on all these spending bills. He was not just America First he was America Only. I don’t have an issue with voting against sending money to all these countries around the planet.

Congratulations on getting literally nothing that we voted for and celebrating it.

Where's that "Lighten up Francis" meme...... that's the extreme libertarian attitude that cost Massie his future in politics, lucky though you'll be able to subscribe to his podcast where he'll keep pushing his failed agenda. Not smart when you want to change the world to try an extort the President by holding back crucial votes without the support of the party.
Don't believe me.

The phrase "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" fits Massie perfectly. Vance is absolutely right- it wasn't just a few disagreements, it was his chosen role to be an obstructionist for the Republican Party.

What?
If that was even remotely true, it wouldn’t have cost $35 million in outside and foreign money to beat him. I can tell you his constituents are worried about our elections being influenced by outsiders. Especially where the money came from.
THAT should concern everyone, not just people from central Kentucky.
