    1. He’s yet another Hoosier politician more interested in ideological purity and being a bomb thrower than actually accomplishing anything.

    2. When you cannot find time to show up for the raising the debt ceiling vote on the House floor, I pretty sure we don’t need this type of representation in the Senate.

      He can forever say well I didn’t vote for or against the debt ceiling! The optics of his action look suspicious to those who pay attention.

    1. Yes, let’s celebrate the unseriousness and purity cleansing stupidity of the Republican primary in Indiana. Because countries like China and Russia absolutely enjoy that we spend more time fighting each other … than fighting our common enemies.

      Todd Young, who I’m rather lukewarm on, can at least point to the CHIPS act. What’s Mike Braun done, other than realize he’s over his head in elected office?

      What’s Jim Banks done in the House to prove that he’s a worthy senator?

    2. Curious where Todd Young found a loophole in the US Constitution to throw hundreds of billion at the chip industry.

      Deregulation would have accomplished the same goal, but lobbyist money isn’t as good if you don’t throw billions of other people money at an industry!

      I am pretty sure he had Mitch’s blessing, he wouldn’t exist if it was not for McConnell.

    3. Steve, I think your reading of the Constitution is about as bad as Alito or Thomas.

      But go ahead and explain how the Chips Act is unconstitutional, and make sure you quote either the text or the cases.

  1. Banks voted against certifying the election of Biden as president, even though there was no valid basis other an ideological belief in Donald Trump’s big lie that the election had been stolen (it wasn’t). After that, it matters not what else Bank says or does as he lost whatever credibility he might have had (which wasn’t much to begin with).

  2. Another nightmare for Indiana. Boy we have come a long way from Mitch Daniels and Dick Lugar. Two men of integrity who actually cared about our democracy.

    1. Unfortunately, neither one much cared about maintaining the Constitutional Republic!

    2. Steve R., as remarkable as our Constitution is conceptually, it is frankly a poorly written document that constantly requires interpretation by the different branches of government. It appears, by your comment, that you think Daniels and Lugar failed to uphold the Constitution when in fact your interpretation of it what the document says is simply different from those of the former elected officials. In fact, the commitment to Constitutional principles by Daniels and Lugar far exceeded the commitment shown by ex-president Trump, who posed (and continues to pose) a far greater danger to our Constitutional Republic. In my opinion, the same concern exists with Congressman Banks as well.

  3. The quality of Republican candidates is proof the Republican Party is rotten at its core. Morales and Banks being prime examples of unqualified Republican office holders.

  4. Holcomb a true RINO would get beat 6 ways from Sunday. True conservatives are a unicorn and Braun with his business background is probably as good as any

    1. Braun knows nothing about governing nor leading.

      He’s just a lobbyist parrot

    2. In running for the Senate six years ago, Braun claimed his company sold only products that were “Made in America.” He would have gotten away with that assertion if a TV station had not captured video of boxes in his warehouse stamped with “Made in China.” Seems to me he is as good at lying as any other.

  5. That time when statewide Republicans are poised to tell their female LG–again–for the 3rd time in a row–that she isn’t good enough to be governor.

    The governor can’t bring himself to endorse his Lieutenant Governor. So interesting. She was good enough to pull female votes to the ticket, but not good enough to run the state?

    Which forces her to swerve uncontrollably far right, to get their approval.

    Sad.
