Don't be a DUPE and put another RINO in office.
Cindy Hyde-Smith is one-third the conservative that MS Senator Chris McDaniel is, and you know it.
Senator Chris McDaniel won't vote for Schumer for majority leader.
But unlike Cindy Hyde-Smith who would continue Turtle-Neck's leadership, Chris McDaniel would support a much more conservative leader for the Senate.
Also, Chris McDaniel will confirm a much strong conservative judge and justice that Cindy Hyde-Smith would vote against.
Cindy Hyde-Smith worked for many years as a federal lobbyist in Washington, D.C.
She also worked as the state director for Mississippi for the National Coalition on Health Care, an organization that has consistently fought for bigger government in the sphere of health care.
The organization was a vocal supporter of ObamaCare, the individual mandate, and Medicaid expansion.
Take a VERY CLOSE LOOK at Cindy Hyde-Smith's voting record.

7: Co-Sponsors of the CREATES Act, S. 974✘ Nay
Key Vote 7: Co-Sponsors of the CREATES Act, S. 974
The CREATES Act would grant relief in court for generic and biosimilar competitors seeking FDA approval. This would clear the pathway for new drugs to enter the market, drastically reducing prices through increased competition. The cost savings stemming from this legislation could reach between 15 percent and 50 percent of current prices for impacted drugs. Should Leader McConnell bring this bill to the floor, FreedomWorks will substitute the cosponsor key vote for the roll call vote.

8: Co-Sponsors of the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, S. 21✔ Yea
Key Vote 8: Co-Sponsors of the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, S. 21
The REINS Act would require congressional approval for economically significant rules promulgated by federal regulatory agencies. Under the REINS Act, the House and Senate would have to vote on a proposed rule and the president would have to sign it before enforcement of the rule can begin. The bill would give Congress 70 days to pass a resolution to approve a rule. If a resolution is not passed, the rule cannot take effect. Should Leader McConnell bring this bill to the floor, FreedomWorks will substitute the cosponsor key vote for the roll call vote.

10: Co-Sponsors of the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, S. 1917✘ Nay
Key Vote 10: Co-Sponsors of the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, S. 1917
SRCA would provide a a comprehensive solution to the myriad of problems marring the federal criminal justice system by offering a three-faceted approach: front-end sentencing reform, back-end corrections reform, and a commission created to study the criminal justice system. These reforms, proven effective at the state level to reducing recidivism, lowering crime, and saving taxpayer dollars can and should be applied to the federal justice system. Should Leader McConnell bring this bill to the floor, FreedomWorks will substitute the cosponsor key vote for the roll call vote.

11: Co-Sponsor of the Earmark Elimination Act, S. 2330✘ Nay
Key Vote 11: Co-Sponsor of the Earmark Elimination Act, S. 2330
The Earmark Elimination Act would make permanent the temporary moratorium on congressional earmarks put into effect in 2010 by creating a point of order against any provision within a bill that matches the definition of an earmark, and when raised would be stricken absent a two-thirds majority to override. Should Leader McConnell bring this bill to the floor, FreedomWorks will substitute the cosponsor key vote for the roll call vote.

14: On the Nomination: Jim Bridenstine to be NASA Administrator✔ Yea
Key Vote 14: On the Nomination: Jim Bridenstine to be NASA Administrator
Between his time as an aviator in the United States Navy, his firsthand experience serving as the executive director of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium, and his work in Congress, Bridenstine is extraordinarily qualified for the role of NASA administrator. In this role at NASA, Bridenstine will have the ability to bring much-needed reform to the agency, implementing the same principles of free markets and government efficiency that he tirelessly fought for in Congress. Serving on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Bridenstine became a champion of issues pertaining to air and space exploration.

15: On the Joint Resolution: Indirect Auto Lending CRA Resolution of Disapproval, S.J.Res. 57✔ Yea
Key Vote 15: On the Joint Resolution: Indirect Auto Lending CRA Resolution of Disapproval, S.J.Res. 57
The passage of this CRA would do nothing to change the prohibition against discrimination in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act that the guidance cites. It would simply roll back the gross regulatory overreach of the CFPB in claiming for itself -- behind closed doors and a screen of smoke -- a power that Congress, in the law that created the CFPB, explicitly banned the CFPB from having. As Sen. Moran said, the CFPB “had to work its magic to find a way to regulate auto dealers.” Good governing is done through accountable and transparent processes, not magic.

Key Vote 16: On the Motion to Proceed: Resolution of Disapproval on Restoring Internet Freedom, S.J.Res 52
S.J.Res. 52 would undo the Restoring Internet Freedom Order and reinstate the Obama administration’s Internet red tape. This will hurt tech companies, as well as consumers. Internet access is becoming vital to commerce, and many Americans still lack connectivity. In order to get service to these most vulnerable parts of the country, we need an Internet free of the meddling hand of government, so it can innovate and expand as it did for so many years before the Obama-era regulations took effect.

18: On the Motion to Proceed: Penny Plan Balanced Budget, S.Con.Res. 36✘ Nay
Key Vote 18: On the Motion to Proceed: Penny Plan Balanced Budget, S.Con.Res. 36
Sen. Paul’s resolution would balance the federal budget in five years by assuming the repeal of the 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act and from there cutting total outlays by one penny for every dollar spent, continuing for the next five years. At this point, the budget would be fully balanced and spending would be allowed to grow at one percent thereafter. Doing so would reduce spending by $404.8 billion in fiscal year 2019 and by $13.35 trillion over ten years relative to the baseline under current law.

19: On the Cloture Motion: Toomey Foreign Investment Amendment to H.R. 5515✔ Yea
Key Vote 19: On the Cloture Motion: Toomey Foreign Investment Amendment to H.R. 5515
Sen. Toomey’s amendment would apply the principles of the REINS Act to CFIUS to make sure Congress has a final say on these regulations. This will mean that only regulations that try to address truly predatory behavior will pass, while those that are unnecessary and anti-market will be stopped from taking effect. This was the intent of Congress when it authorized CFIUS and it should not abandon its ability to set policy in this way. Sen. Toomey’s amendment gives Congress this oversight.

Key Vote 20: On the Motion to Discharge: Spending Cuts to Expired and Unnecessary Programs Act, H.R. 3
Approving this initial $15 billion rescissions request in full -- pulling back funds sitting in useless accounts that can only otherwise be used to spend more in the future -- is a task that conservatives in Congress should wholeheartedly endorse. It is one of few opportunities to exercise any semblance of fiscal discipline. It is only one small step towards actually tackling Washington’s out-of-control spending addiction, but it represents a chance to begin this fight.

21: On the Motion to Table the Lee Amendment to H.R. 5515✘ Yea
Key Vote 21: On the Motion to Table the Lee Amendment to H.R. 5515
The Lee Amendment ensures that if the government wishes to making any such detention, that it have clear authorization to do so. The entire text of the Lee Amendment is consistent with the Constitution and with the prior Supreme Court cases that govern this issue. This amendment is narrow in scope, and will not hinder our counterterrorism efforts. This is merely to strengthen American citizens’ constitutional protections. The motion to table would kill this important provision.

22: On the Motion to Table Lee-Cruz Amendment to the Farm Bill, H.R. 2✔ Nay
Key Vote 22: On the Motion to Table Lee-Cruz Amendment to the Farm Bill, H.R. 2
This amendment would add work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. The Senate stripped out this pro-work provision from their version of the Farm Bill. Work requirements are important for helping people rise out of welfare and becoming independent of government assistance. A vote to table the Lee-Cruz Amendment would prevent them from being added back in to the Senate text.

23: On the Motion to Instruct on H.R. 5895 to Enhance Trade Oversight✘ Nay
Key Vote 23: On the Motion to Instruct on H.R. 5895 to Enhance Trade Oversight
The motion to instruct simply states: “[M]anagers on the part of the Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill H.R. 5895 be instructed to include language providing a role for Congress in making a determination under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862).”
The administration has misused Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to unilaterally impose tariffs – which are taxes – for purposes unrelated to national security. These tariffs threaten American consumers with higher prices and American businesses with retaliatory tariffs imposed by our trading partners.

24: On Passage of the Farm Bill, H.R. 2✘ Yea
Key Vote 24: On Passage of the Farm Bill, H.R. 2
This bill makes no effort to reduce dependence on subsidies from the federal government. These subsidies tend to prop up particular crops at the expense of others. Under the last Farm Bill, 94 percent of subsidies went to only six crops. However, those six crops only accounted for 28 percent of production. This is not to mention the fact that one-third of subsidies would go to “farmers” who have a median net worth of $3.8 million. The Farm Bill is one of our nations clearest examples of cronyism for special interests, and the version produced by the Senate continues that tradition, with no attempt at reform.

Key Vote 25: On the Paul Amendment to H.R. 6147
This amendment, sponsored by sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would reduce appropriations in the minibus by 11.39% across the board. This would result in cuts of $17.5 billion and would bring spending in line with the budget caps in place before passage of the Bipartisan Budget Act. Given that we are rapidly approaching a trillion dollar deficit, this is a necessary step to reining in government spending.

26: On the Motion to Extend the National Flood Insurance Program✘ Yea
Key Vote 26: On the Motion to Extend the National Flood Insurance Program
The amendment would provide for a clean reauthorization without reforms, despite consistent efforts by fiscally-conscious members to modify the program, which is over $20 billion in debt. This is more of the same pattern seen all too often in Congress -- Leadership unwilling to support even the most modest reforms to fiscally irresponsible, flawed programs. With NFIP, only 3 of the 41 reauthorizations in the past 20 years have included any reforms.

Key Vote 27: On the Motion to Table the Cruz Amendment to H.R. 6147
This amendment would prohibit funds from being used to carry out the District of Columbia’s recently-passed Health Insurance Requirement Act. The D.C. mandate states that a “taxpayer who fails to pay the District of Columbia shared responsibility payment imposed...shall be subject to all collection, enforcement, and administrative provisions applicable to unpaid taxes or fees, as provided in Chapter 18, Chapter 41, Chapter 42, Chapter 43, and Chapter 44 of this title.” When dissected fully, this includes levying and seizing property, or even imprisoning individuals for choosing not to purchase health insurance.

Key Vote 28: On the Nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court
When it comes more broadly to the rampant expansion of the unconstitutional regulatory state, Judge Kavanaugh is perhaps second to none in standing up for the Constitution. According to Kavanaugh, if Congress hasn’t yet opined on a matter of deep economic significance, any regulation relating to that matter should be presumed unconstitutional. He recognizes that lawmaking, under Article I of the Constitution, was delegated to Congress, not unelected executive branch bureaucrats.

29: On the Conference Report to H.R. 6157✘ Yea
Key Vote 29: On the Conference Report to H.R. 6157
H.R. 6157 is more of the same profligate spending resulting from a broken budget process and members unwilling to stand up for their campaign promises of shrinking government and reducing spending. The bill appropriates $33 billion more for Defense than the FY 2018 omnibus and $16 billion more for Labor/HHS. It also includes a CR until December 7, setting up votes on a spending package during the lame-duck session that will almost certainly be packed with last-minute giveaways to special interests.
