Having the Senate Majority Leader from TX gives TX a **** ton of clout in the Senate.

So there's that.


This is a myth more-so than reality. Kentucky isn't really lightning the world on fire from McConnell's long tenure.

The only entity that gets more powerful is the person in the position.

There is a smallish chance DeWine will pick Vivek to replace JD Vance in Ohio. Now, if that happens, in my fantasy world Ramaswamy could be majority leader.

Yeah, won't happen of course and he doesn't 'know the system' in the senate etc. but it would be epic and this is a message board so, whatever, fun thought exercise.

It's Kentucky...

They're just happy they have running water.

I've heard that this position falls into the "It's his turn" and it is unwritten but you don't skip someone's turn. DEI like. Not merit based.

Tom Cotton 100%

I'm thinking Cruz or Lee will replace Justice Thomas

You have to have someone that can get Susan Collin's and Lisa Murkowski on board for important votes. This isn't about who the base likes the most this is about actually being able to pass an agenda with just a handful of votes to spare

Of the realistic options I'd prefer Scott.

Cornyn is just a less experienced version of Mitch.

I get needing to have someone that can work the room, but screw John McCornyn. He will let you down when it matters most. There's no fight in a guy like that.
The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.

Thune would be worse than Cornyn and Cornyn has no business in that role.

If either of them end up as leader, forget about any of the gains from this election.

It is going to be Thune or Cornyn.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4977673-senate-gop-leader-thune-cornyn/

Both guys have been trying to backroom deal to garner support. It's a two-man race. Rick Scott is apparently also interested but doesn't have huge support.

I'd give him a B- overall. He was very good on judges, couldn't get John McCain to play ball on ObamaCare though. Surely there was some deal to be made with McCain there, I believe.

Same way ObamaCare got passed to begin with, bribes for the Senators for their states.

It's make sense that Cornyn and/or thune would completely ignore the mandate trump was just given and instead stick to their neo con ways

Mitch gets high praise for saving us from Merrick Garland being on the Supreme Court. And it buys him a pass on his shortcomings but he's done. Hard pass on Cornyn and Thune. Cotton is my pick

I've already sent Cruz an email urging him to support Scott. Cornyn needs to be primaried

Your letters don't matter. The guy who helps raise or gives the most money to his fellow Senators campaign gets the nod.

It's for sale like everything else.

I'm of the opinion this election was a referendum on the woke and the swamp. I have faith it won't be a POS and Trump will leverage his supporters to get the right guy.

I'd expect Cruz will also do so of its those two.

Don't rule out Scott though

Bongino, Scott Pressler, Charlie Kirk, and a bunch of folks have endorsed Rick Scott.



Supposedly, that's who Trump wants.

Guys this job is about getting Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski etc to vote yes when they need them… it's not about driving policy or directing the country
