Tillis warns conservatives’ ‘unwise’ reforms would ‘weaken’ Senate GOP

10/15/24

North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis (R) circulated a “Dear Colleague” letter Tuesday warning that some of the reforms being pushed by Senate conservatives would only weaken the next Senate Republican leader and cause the same chaos that is plaguing the House Republican majority.

Tillis released his letter in response to a list of procedural reforms conservative Senate Steering Committee Chair Mike Lee (R-Utah) unveiled in his own letter last week, which called for giving rank-and-file senators more say in how to run the Senate floor.

Lee is pushing to curtail the next Senate GOP leader’s grip on floor strategy in anticipation of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) retirement as Senate GOP leader at the end of this year.

McConnell has served 18 years as Senate GOP leader, both in the majority and the minority, the longest tenure of any leader in Senate history.

Tillis, an ally of McConnell and Senate GOP Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), who is running to succeed McConnell, warned Tuesday that taking power out of the hands of the next GOP leader would only further empower Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.).

More rino’s wanting to interfere with Trump’s agenda. Either get on board or resign. This is just more career politicians wanting everything to keep on going as is. Time for these people to go. We the people need to set them straight on what we expect from this election and our votes.

Democrat representatives spend all their time figuring out ways to screw us and Republican representatives spend all their time figuring out ways on how to not stop them.

This traitor needs to step down and he is so bad it defies imagination. He will break his neck to go over to the other side of the aisle to screw his own party. We had big problems with this idiot fool when he was the Senate majority leader in North Carolina. always interfering in gun rights legislation and working with the democrats to defeat gun bills, but it never worked for the demon rat in republican clothing, he always was shot down by the republican party. one big A-Hole is what this S-Bag was and is even a bigger one now.

I called his DC office yesterday and asked how he voted in the two rounds for Senate Majority Leader. The staffer said she didn’t know – “it was a secret ballot.” Anyone wanna bet that he didn’t vote for Scott?

While demo-communists act in lock-step to strengthen their side, Republicans Eat Their Own Young.
Every. Single. Time.
They never learn to consolidate power, thus, every few years they get their butts handed to them.
Regardless, I detest 98% of all of them for not representing their constituents.
Tell me if you feel “represented.”
I’ll wait right here.
