‘I say Cruz.’
Cruz, if you want nothing done, ever. Most of the other Senators hate him, and Cruz has yet to demonstrate the leadership to get anything significant passed. A leader needs to be able to rally the trumps. Cruz doesn’t have it.
I’d support Cruz as a Sessions replacement. As AG, Cruz could command rather than rally. He could select targets and marshal resources to do his bidding. Imo, he’d get that job done in spades.
He would be nuts to take the AG job. He would be fired within two years, and end up in, like, talk radio or something.
I honestly have no earthly idea of who could herd the cats in the Senate. I think Sasse is the most respected by colleagues and has the right temperament, but he is still pretty anti-Trump.
Cornyn makes the most sense, but I think he would be in open warfare with the moderates from Day 1.
