He should have challenged John "Big bad" Coryn for chairman of the republican senatorial committee, or tried for the conference chair......
I thought maybe he was angling to be the next republican senate leader, but he doesn't even show signs of that (let alone the Presidency).....
Whatcha waiting for Senator ? Your country needs you.
It is pointless for DeMint to try for any Senate leadership positions. The current moderate GOP leadership hates him. His only chance for Senate Leadership is to do exactly what he is doing, go around the current moderates and RINOs and get new conservative senators elected.
How can he move up in a Senate that is completely controlled by moderates and RINOs. He needs a base of support to move up. That is what he is doing. He is building a base of support.
