But then again, at the time, many Freepers said McCormick was a RINO, so there’s that.

Is he a RINO? I know nothing about him,just that some on Free Republic were happy Oz won that primary over a RINO.

McCormick claims to be pro-life and pro-gun.

He is highly unlikely to be an aggressive conservative voice in the Senate (not that we’ll probably ever get to find out), but he’s not Larry Hogan either.

He’s more a go-along-to-get-along type who will vote the right way a majority of the time yet still be an establishment stooge whenever Mitch jerks the puppet strings.

Regardless of his being MAGA or not, his win could serve to put the republicans in control of the Senate. Why is this important?

A Republican controlled Senate would be able to confirm more of President Trump's judicial nominees, including any upcoming theoretical Supreme Court pick. Even without the House, they could approve judges for district courts, circuit courts, and the high court with a simple Senate majority. And that’s not the only benefit: Keeping this majority would also mean that republicans could set their own floor agenda and reject bills approved by a (God forbid) Democrat-led House. Republicans would have more leverage on must-pass bills like government funding and debt ceiling limits. Plus, Senate Republicans could ensure that hearings and committee time could be used on investigations of criminal actors and institutions in the Biden regime.

What matters is Ukraine. I figure McCormick to be another Mitch Man on that.

McCormick needs my vote since I live here in Pennsylvania.

I am so fed up with sending more money to Ukraine I will take no excuses. If a few Republicans give Biden what he wants in Ukraine in any House vote, McCormick can kiss my vote for him in the US Senate race here in PA goodbye.

Are you listening Dave?
