Six GOP Senators Who Could Follow Corker into Retirement
Republican Establishment could be upended by exits, paving the way for a more conservative caucus
PoliZette, Sep 29, 2017, Jim Stinson

The surprise retirement of Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) may signal a rush to the exit door for other longtime establishment Republicans in the Senate.

Several GOP members of the upper chamber — most of them advanced in age — have struggled to acclimate to the style and agenda of President Donald Trump.
 
And some have drifted from their party’s base — a base increasingly willing to back insurgent challenges against incumbents. The prospect of serious electoral mortality appeared to play a role in Corker’s decision. A recent poll found the Tennessee senator trailing potential insurgent GOP challenger Joe Carr.

The six:
1. Orrin Hatch -- no great loss, easily replaceable
2. Susan Collins -- might just as well be rid of her, could we get Paul LePage to run?
3. Jeff Flake -- buhbye, hello Kelly Ward
4. John McCain -- no comment
5. Lamar Alexander -- Tennessee ought to put a real Republican into office
6. Mitch McConnell -- be gone, already!

Could we please add Murkowski to the list?  I would love to get rid of both idiot sisters at the same time (Collins being the other)

Please let it be so!

Yes, yes and YES!

But she really shouldn't be considered a GOP Senator, IMO.

She'd be a good addition, all right, but I'll be content if we can get rid of those named.

However, most of them will only go out feet first.

Which is why we need term limits.

How dare the people in these states elect people of their own choosing.   We need the scammities of the broadcast world to choose their elected officials.
After all, who could be smarter than rushlimbo, scammity and or marklevin?
