"I think this is our opportunity to take him out, and we're sort of working to figure out if that's possible. I think that there's a bit of a chicken and egg problem where I think you probably have the votes, but you need somebody to step forward and that person's that unwilling to step forward unless you have the votes, it can't just be a Mike and Ted and a sort of everybody who hates Mitch thing," one Republican senator, who was granted anonymity to speak freely without worry of retaliation from leadership, told the Caller. "You obviously have to get kind of the middle of the conference. So that's all being worked on behind the scenes. And I think, frankly, how this vote works out will help determine whether the conference, broadly speaking, is willing to go in that direction."

MAGA starting to take over. Erased House Speaker and now working on Senate leadership.

Need more MAGA.

He may be a eunuch, but I’ll say this about James Lankford: He has great taste in radio. 😏

Yes, in case you’re wondering, he’s talking about me. https://t.co/D7NWoPb8SX

It's time for Mitch to step down. The 81 year old had two bouts of freezing at the podium due to some sort of undiclosed neurological issue, and is now being played by a fool by Schumer and the dems by telegraphing his intentions prior to negotiations.

I'm willing to be led by an octogenarian only if he's damn sharp, and damn effective. Mitch is now neither.

Whatever shrewdness Mitch possessed in the past is gone. He's negotiating not from a position of strength, but from weakness. It's over. Retire.
