Here’s Who Could Replace McConnell As Senate Majority Leader

Posted By Thomas Phippen On 10:27 PM 08/10/2017 In | No Comments

Should Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell step down from the top position in Congress, Republicans will be looking for someone savvy enough to accomplish a difficult legislative to-do list and trusted by the president.

President Donald Trump has not held back in his repeated criticisms of McConnell. Trump blames him for failing to repeal Obamacare in the first six months that Republicans controlled both the Congress and the presidency.

The problem as usual, is that we want somebody replaced, but nobody can agree as to whom to replace him with.

Wrong side of Congress.  It's Ryan who's in danger of being replaced by Pelosi.

None of these replacements are acceptable.  Cruz, Lee, Paul are all much better options.

Lee is my preference. Ted and Rand have been more antagonistic to the less conservative members of the caucus.

While you may be right, I still agree that Cruz, Lee, or Paul would be better.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

With the amount of stupid that oozes from the GOP?
Not a chance. It would screw up the foursomes for bridge or something...

With the GOP acting the way it does and being against good conservative values and principles, I can't see why any one would want to be part of that.

In fairness, the GOP has had some conservatives who are worth their paycheck, but they have been hobbled by the "moderates" (read: "Liberal Republicans"). Unfortunately, there are more of the latter than we knew, and the ACA issue has exposed them like turning over a flat rock. I just wish we had had an honest roll call vote from them, instead of the usual suspects (McCain, Collins, Graham, Murkowski, to name four) popping up with enough votes to kill conservative measures and letting the rest stay in cover. It will take a while to weed them out.
