Its a taboo subject among Senate Republicans but one thats on many senators minds: What if Mitch McConnell loses his reelection bid?
There appears to be no clear answer to that question, at least not right now.
In interviews and private conversations with more than half of the 45-member Senate Republican Conference, there is a split over a potential McConnell successor. His top deputy, John Cornyn of Texas, is favored to succeed him, several GOP senators said. But others ranging from John Thune of South Dakota to Tennessees Lamar Alexander or a dark horse are among those who could get serious consideration in the event of a leadership vacancy.
Cornyns ascension to the top spot is hardly a lock. A McConnell loss would mean Republicans would most likely still be in the Senate minority, and some GOP senators would be looking for a fresh face to pull the party out of the political wilderness, set policy priorities and drive the national message.

She’s in her mid-thirties. I’d say the chances of that are excellent.
I’ve seen her recent commercials. If people haven’t they really should. She’s really, really good at pulling off the concerned/empathy thing. Which is the kind of emotional appeal that decades of electoral history have shown work for Dems. I know what to look for, so I know she’s just a slimeball. Problem is she’s an effective slimeball.
Not this time. I have sucked it up as you say, and held my nose since 1988 for the GOPE trash. No more.
McConnell made it clear he wanted to punch conservatives in the face in the primary and he didn’t need our votes and now he expects us to save his behind in November. As a Kentucky voter I will be sitting out the senate race and not voting in it. If Mitch thinks he can punch voters in the face and then have them buy his lunch 6 months later he dumber than he looks.
And really if we conservatives are all racists and kooks, according to the Party Boys and GOPE why would they want our support anyway??? I’m sure democrats are lining up now to vote for them come November, right.
