(41,505 posts)The Senate voted for cloture, 83-16. The no votes, all Republicans, in no particular order:
David Vitter, Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Pat Roberts, Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Richard Shelby, Rand Paul, Dean Heller, Pete Sessions, Mike Enzi, Jim Risch, Mike Crapo, and Chuck Grassley.
Jim Inhofe did not vote.
The most notable no here is Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the lone member of the Senate GOP leadership voting against cloture. Cornyn is the Senate Minority Whip. On the other hand, the most notable yes may be Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who replaced Jim DeMint when DeMint left to lead Heritage. Heritage, through it's Heritage Action group, was very much opposed to this deal. (By Matt Berman)

(12,041 posts)I know that they have elected some awful people particularly in 2010, but in 2012 they elected Tammy Baldwin and Obama trounced Romney despite Paul Ryan being on the ticket. Both Walker and Johnson are very vulnerable when they come up for reelection.
