I’m not much of a fan for Rick Scott, but compared to Thune and Cornyn he is clearly the best choice.

The article states that “Scott, who unsuccessfully challenged McConnell after the 2022 midterms, is seen as the underdog in the race.”

It says a lot about Republican Senators that they would support a McConnell clone (Thune or Cornyn) rather than someone who wants to implement change (Scott). But that’s Repukes for you.

Cornyn is a RINO and can’t be trusted.

I personally would like to see Ted Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.

Can we please pick someone who isn’t part of The Walking Dead zombie squad or close to it like these three are?

Rand Paul...who else put the "gain of function" thorn in Fauci's arse...trying to expose one of the greatest scams/disasters in American/world history?

Scott I don't know enough about, the other 2 would make backroom deals, which might be in their best interest, but probably not ours.

“I saw Glitch on Newsmax talking about how much the Democrats put against the Republican candidates. Didn’t give a penny to Keri Lake. The guy could jump off the tallest building as far as I’m concerned.”

He did not give a penny to Cruz either!

His tactical abilities to navigate the rules of the Senate would be nice to retain, however.

If I were a suspicious person I might think Glitch spent all our Senate money on Never Trumpers!

Scott, who unsuccessfully challenged McConnell after the 2022 midterms, is seen as the underdog in the race, while Thune and Cornyn have worked closely with McConnell and adhere to the Kentuckian’s brand of traditional Republican politics.

No to Thune and Cornyn - just McConnell puppets.
