Is there any hope that this could prevent republicans from voting for these guys?

A drop in the bucket compared to other corruption schemes. Though there was probably other money that made its way into the senators' private accounts, somehow, someway.

It's a fact that rethugians will vote for any p.o.s. with an R behind their name.

if ever. At least, Graham's won't It wouldn't matter to them, anyway. IIOKIYAAR. He has an "R" after his name. That's all that matter to them. These are these are the same people who re-elected an obviously senile Strom Thurmond when he was 100 years old.

Congress investigated it in the 1950s, that's what led to regulation so it became impossible for casinos to go bankrupt.

Burr and Tillis involved. I guess they think that this type of action is okay. This is not the first questionable deal that either one of them has been caught in.

And all the Tillis has on Cunningham for a campaign message is "oh my God he had sex!"
