Handful of GOP senators to skip Trump coronation at RNC

Senate Republicans are looking to present a united front at the national convention next week, even as a small faction of the conference in the upper chamber is not planning to attend.

A number of GOP senators who have either openly feuded with former President Donald Trump or have not been his biggest fans confirmed they will not be attending the four-day event in Milwaukee, aimed at firing up the party’s base in the final stretch to the Nov. 5 presidential election. Several senators cited scheduling conflicts and logistical hurdles.

Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Todd Young (R-IN), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) told the Washington Examiner they do not plan on traveling to the convention.

Murkowski, who initially endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in March and has been vocally against Trump’s bid, said she won’t be attending and is likely not welcome at the political gathering.

Wonderful!  Nothing like displaying a united front.  *****rollingeyes*****  However, Mittens, Murkowski, and Collins not showing doesn't surprise me.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

They're not united, and don't like him.  That shouldn't come as a surprise to the people who elected them.

Interestingly, this is the first time in quite awhile that the DEMS have not displayed a united front. Joe has created quite a ruckus.
