While I’m not as conversant on the Christine O’Donnell (Delaware) situation as you are, I do concur about McConnell.
He needs to go back to his home state.
Ryan can go with him, as long as he goes.
I’ve seen the GOPe pull the same stunts in my state (California), just surrendering top level positions to the Democrats. It’s very frustrating.
Then you get the know-it-all people in other states blaming it on the citizens of California.
Look folks, if only one side is competing, that side is going to win. End of story.
Ryan has actúally been very supportive of Trump lately, and I think he can be a valuable ally. McConnell is weak, but nothing succeeds like success, and Trump’s recent actions - executive orders cutting through the knot and undoing Obama’s executive orders, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes - are clearly successes and are making McConnell think that maybe he’d like to be on the Trump side.
The real problem in the Senate is that vicious, spiteful, jealous little old man, McCain. But nature will take its course and I don’t think he’s going to be with us too much longer.
