Senate Republicans Back Big Change To Prevent Repeat Of McConnell Era

A number of top Senate Republicans are signaling support for term limits for their next Leader as Mitch McConnell, 82, is set to step down from the position in November, the Daily Caller has learned.

Since McConnell announced his retirement, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, South Dakota Sen. John Thune and Florida Sen. Rick Scott have announced they are running to be the next GOP Senate Leader. Two of those three, along with several other notable Republican senators, told the Caller they support term limits for the next leader.

Thune’s office was the only of the three leadership candidates to not state where he stands on the issue.

His office referred the Caller to a Politico article that said he’s “open to discussing term limits on the next Republican leader, with a critical caveat that the topic needs to be part of a broader conversation within the Senate GOP.”

Cornyn has stated: “One reason I am running to be the next Republican Leader is because I believe the Senate needs more engagement from all of my colleagues, and that includes the opportunity for any Member to serve in Leadership. I will support a conference vote to change the rules and institute term limits for the Republican Leader.”

Are you flipping serious? It's not like McConnell was appointed by the President, YOU VOTED FOR HIM. Quit acting like we have to take action to stop some dark nebulous conspiracy that forced McConnell on the GOP caucus.

Just get some cock and balls and vote them out.

Mitch McConnell is a Frankenstein's monster of the Senate GOP's own making.

It's not surprising that wet-noodle GOP Senators lack the chutzpah / gravitas / cojones to run their own caucus.

   Cornyn will be as bad, if not worse than the turtle.
