Guess Who Will Likely Replace McConnell As GOP Senate Leader?

You’ll be underwhelmed.

Daily Caller:
As the 81 year-old Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has had multiple health scares in the past two months, there is growing speculation as to who would take over as the GOP’s Senate leader if the Kentucky Republican can no longer serve in his role.

In July, McConnell appeared to freeze up during a weekly GOP press conference and had to be ushered away by other Senate Republicans. Just over one month later, McConnell froze up again during a press conference in Kentucky.

During the press conference in Kentucky, McConnell failed to respond after a reporter asked him his thoughts on “running for reelection in 2026.” The senator, who took office in 1985, attempted to mumble something before falling silent. After around 10 seconds of silence, an aide approached McConnell and asked if he’d heard the question. McConnell appeared to whisper “Yes” in response before falling silent again. MORE

  2. “It’s Thune or Cornyn. I think McConnell world prefers Thune but Cornyn is a better fundraiser and legislator so I wouldn’t count him out,”

    …”World”?

    Editorial review is dead

    Stop trusting Spell Check programs.

  3. Yep, I saw where Granny Boxwine is going to run for reelection once again. I thought maybe Komade Nanski would take the ambassadorship to Italy, but she can’t let go. We’ll just have to wait for The Grim Reaper to come get her.

  4. ACE says it will be “The black Hill Bolshevik”. Sad to say I think ACE is right!

    The NeoCommie’s name is Thune. I think his hero/role model is “The liberal Lion of the Senate”!

    For those <70 look up Mary Jo K. She BTW is "not available to comment on Thune!"!

  5. I saw a turtle on the highway the other day that didn’t seem to have anything to do.
    If I could find him I could box him up and send him to DC.
