The Next GOP Senate Majority Leader will be ________
« on: November 11, 2024, 09:38:14 am »
Can overestimate the impact the next 2 years, of seeing what level of cooperation we will see from the next Senate Majority Leader.  Will we get another feckless Noodle RINO eunuch like Turdle?  Or will we get a fighter.  Seems there are three names in the ring..   Scott- FL, Thune-SD, or Cornyn Texas.  What sez the Briefers?

I am going with momentum, and hopeful thinking with Rick Scott.  The other two are formidable in that they probably have swampy favors that are coming their way from their colleagues.

I voted Scott because I sure as hell don't want either of the others but I wouldn'tt be the least bit surprised if someone else emerged from the herd. Rand Paul would be a fine choice IYAM.

Unfortunately, you won't get to vote. (If the senate majority were actually conservatives, that would be priority one.)

I chose Cornyn, not because I want him to be the GOP Senate leader, but because the Senate Republicans never fail to go with the GOPE option.

And in the case of the three involved, they can't miss!

  The only worst pick than Cornyn would be Murkowski or Collins.

Yes, I believe the VP can be Majority Leader. Senate Majority Leader is an institutional position not a Constitutional position. I think that’s right.

Yep  https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,546042.msg3100426.html#msg3100426

John Adams did it.

And just like our current Speaker came out of nowhere, am betting this might happen in the Senate as well.

Ron Johnson WI might be a good compromise pick

I have no idea.  This week's important vote is for Minority Leader.  They should have to vote again for Majority Leader after the new Senators are sworn in.

This week's vote is important again because it will probably give the Trump haters a narrative for the January election.  I always expected the Senators to be the fly in the ointment.

Unfortunately, you are probably correct and yes the GOPe still is a large part of the problem.

I voted Scott too, but I am afeared that the correct fill in for the blank is disappointment.
