He's already the de facto House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader, he doesn't need the title.

It would also get in the way of running for president, if he chooses to do so.

Remember when things were so desperate Fred Thompson looked good.
I see him now, selling reverse mortgages and question my wisdom at that moment.

If he thinks people out here don’t care who the leaders are, I think he’s missed the message. We sure as hell do care, and McConnell has got to go.
He will sell us out across the board.
I have zero confidence in McConnell, and leadership is a very big deal if you want to get anything done.
The leader can just opt not to bring important stuff to the floor. End of story.

Senator Fred Thompson, then and now, is a giant compared to Mr. Obama, Leaders Pelosi & Reid and just about any Democrat you can name, no matter what he is doing at this moment to support his young family.

And let’s not forget his support of the national popular vote.

Is that really legal? One representative should NOT have that kind of power in a republic.

There is a thread - and I CANNOT find it, ever - from 2007 where it was Fred Thompson who chose Sarah for VP should he get the nom.
It was just an article stuck in a thread, not a thread of its own.

I just went out to find confirmation of that. I didn’t find it.
None the less, I believe the majority leader can block bills from coming to a vote.
We’ve had big debates about this, and the idea the Democrats wouldn’t even allow things to come to a vote.
I have something else I need to do now, but I’ll come back.
