And he’ll have baggage as soon as he were to run. That being said, it’s really foolish to think you can have Trump’s policies without Trump. Afghanistan is all the proof you need. Without williness to do extreme things you are going to fail. Trump is completely unique. The pretenders need not apply.
Hopefully Turtle drops dead soon.
That’s our best hope.
“I firmly believe that Pres. Trump would have more influence as a behind scenes power-broker than running for president again. ‘
I agree with this. Plus, I am not a big fan of politicians who are 80 years-old.
Assuming The Dominion really doesn’t have the fix already in, A Paul/DeSantis or DeSantise/Paul Ticket would be a bang up combo with Trump backing them. Or Either off the two on the top with Abbott as VP
perhaps it is time for a change
OK, so that leaves Ted Cruz. He would be awesome!
I certainly wouldn’t say it was “advice”, and I wasn’t thinking of President, either, though I didn’t say it.
As I said, I think the quiet from the Republican leadership we have in DC is because they are protected by the election theft they helped set up, anyway. I don’t think they are afraid at all of stabbing their electorate in the backs.
We don’t get to choose any more.
Trump won’t get to either
I really don’t know why anyone would think that.
Just some bloody meat for the commie masses of useful idiots from The Hill.
The Hill is Leftist propagandist ass wipe.
There’s no chance they replace McConnell. He has too much power over the GOP senators. The only way to replace him (aside from death) is to defeat him in a primary election.
Totally agree. It would be nice. Unfortunately for us, there is NOBODY in the Senate possessing even a tiny bit of the strategic skill McConnell does. Sadly, he mostly uses it for evil. But there isn't a single Republican who is able to out-maneuver McConnell or who could thwart McConnell's ability to maintain his power using the ridiculously arcane rules of the Senate, of which McConnell is unparalleled master. Unfortunately.
Mitch McConnell is the Nancy Pelosi of Lindsey Grahamnesties.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell went public with what has long been suspected: He has no plans to leave the Senate even if his party loses its majority in November.
McConnell was just re-elected in 2020...He won’t have to run again until 2026...
“Oh really? Hows that Supreme Court and all those judicial appointments looking?”
Recollect the SC stood down on the 2020 disaster of an election (Trump overwhelmingly won). Refresh my memory on the judicial appointments again that resulted in net benefits to US as a whole. McTurtle only allowed those that he personally approved and/or was told to approve, fights against true conservatives, is a weasel, and should be relieved of his ill-gotten gains with extreme prejudice.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.I know I risk getting repetitive by posting that again, but we were warned over six decades ago that this was happening.

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

i know. but it wasn’t “we” Trump Girl. i haven’t given a dime directly to the gope in 10 plus years.
but, yes. the first step is to take the leader position away. then he’ll probably resign (i don’t think he’s a strong willed as pelosi, whom we in the tea party took out in 2010).
Too many to overcome.
I was just dreaming… Cruz can be a pitbull and is usually on our side, but you are right…
Mitch is crappola.
A RINO and no conservative
Get rid of him, please
There is much I don’t like about Mitch McConnell as GOP leader, but that is a very demanding and complex job.
There are probably not many presently available repubs qualifed to do it. But all we need is one of those who has the qualifications and the will to deal with the backlash from McConnell’s people.
If replaced, Mitch will likely do all he can to have his present cronies promise not to cooperate with any replacement. So the new person better be ready to bring in his own team of assistants and advisors.
Thune is being groomed to succeed McConnell. Thune used to be conservative, but then he got co-opted by Washington.
Not until we do some major House and Senate cleaning.
Josh Harley for Senate Majority and Jim Jordan for Speaker.
