As I was saying earlier...

Via Norm Ornstein:

I will not miss Mitch as leader. For reasons why, read It's even Worse Than It Looks, and Google Ornstein and McConnell to see us interact. But keep in mind that we will now see Thune, Cornyn and Barrasso vie to replace him-- all by moving further right. Not good.

@GottaLaff I'm pulling for my Senator, John Cornyn, because I believe he is the stupidest of the three. But it's a close race.

@GottaLaff After seeing what Cornyn said to Ken Paxton, I may have to reconsider. That was a pretty clever rejoinder.

@jbhughes Oof! And that's in the Examiner!

@GottaLaff are these possible replacements as cunning as McConnell and are they as good at fund raising. I expect his replacement to be even less moral, but hopefully less competent.

@paulc Not as savvy, def not moral

I rarely pay attention to GOP internal gamesmanship. Are the other three as dangerous as Addison in terms of their power networks?

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Frances_Larina I don't know relatively, but they're all VERY dangerous. It's Trump's party now.

@GottaLaff

McConnell's statement to the chamber was a bit off. His gift is to know when to get out while the getting is still good.

I sense the tiny hands of Trump behind the move

He probably dropped out of the leader role to avoid a pressure campaign by Trump. Now, we'll all be forced to watch these other old Senate white guys grovel for Trump's favor. It wil be nauseating.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@TCatInReality It already has been. They're just repulsive.

@GottaLaff
We should make a bingo card of groveling.

I suggest:

Cruz: He's right, my wife is ugly

Thune: He's the ideal man, a real mans man

Hawley: Yes, we should be overturning the Constitution

Rubio: well, I do drink a lot of water

Cornyn: I've never met a more strategic thinker.

@TCatInReality Hahahahahaaa!

I had to deal with him being my Senator for 13 years.
I'm soooo glad he finally got the message to leave ...
Watch for more bitch moves on his way out the door.
As the leader of the Senate not interested in impeaching Trump or even stopping his damage to our government ,his slimy ass should be sitting in Florence ADX as a traitor.
At least aiding and abetting one.

@ChrisHolladay @GottaLaff

He's still your senator through 2026, possibly longer. He's declining to re-run for senate party leadership, not quitting the senate.

OTOH, there' appears to be little evidence these aspirants have anywhere near McConnell's political skills.

GottaLaff,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@lolcat They don't. But neither do House GOP members and they've done enormous damage

@GottaLaff For an evil fucker, he's been a surprising occasional voice of reason.
But, the evil fucker part way outweighs the rare reasonableness.

@colo_lee Agreed
