Not including Trump, who do you think are the 2 names on each side that come to mind? (1 house and 1 senate member from each)

Neo-cons are conservatives that have a moral interventionist inclination, while the Putin wing are populist pro-Russian isolationists. McCain was probably the epitome of a Neo-con, of those currently in the Senate I'd say Graham, Rubio and possibly McConnel and others would lean that way. Marjorie Taylor Green would be the best example of the Putin wing although she is from the House (Can't think of any Senators that are).

I probably should have left out the house/senate split.

Internet discussions are hard for the fine point of discussions.

From my perspective, it read like there was a very distinct line that you felt most republicans landed on. Either neo-con or putin wing.
