“And if McDaniel wins it’ll be interesting how he and McConnell will get along together...assuming McConnell wins as well.”
*******************************************************************
Mitch McConnell is worried that he would not have McDaniel’s vote for Leader (and, IMHO, he should be worried about that—particularly after this latest shot). And the duplicitous Mitch KNOWS that he would have the vote of the PUPPET Cochran—for anything he wants.
And I think the odds are even as to whether Mitch wins or loses this November.
I doubt he's that worried. He knows that all he needs are 50 percent of the Republican senators plus 1. There are enough GOPe votes for that. Those that might be tempted to vote against him will fear the backlash. If McDaniel voted against McConnell for leader he'd be one of only two or three that do.
