Bye, Mitch: Rand Paul for Senate Minority Leader
By Monica Showalter
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced his plans to exit his leadership position by November on Wednesday.
We can praise the good things he did, breathe a sigh of relief to that he had the good sense to get out before he became another Dianne Feinstein, and criticize him later.
The important thing is who will replace him in a year when President Trump is expected to retake the White House.
According to Politico, three names have emerged:
The Kentucky Republican isn’t stepping aside until November, but three potential heirs have long loomed large in the Hill’s calculus. Somewhat confusingly, all three are white men named John: Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), former whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) and GOP Conference Chair John Barrasso (R-Wyo.).
For the moment, very few GOP senators are declaring their preferred McConnell successor. Asked which of the “three Johns” he favors to become the next Republican leader, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) spoke for many on Wednesday by chuckling and replying only, “good question.”
I like Barrasso, and the other two are a mix of pluses and minuses.
But one name being bruited about, on Twitter and among the punditocracy, is not on that list but generating a lot of interest is ... Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Hell, yeah.
What a perfect gift he would be for getting the Republicans back on track -- and in the majority, too.
