You have to wonder if the Turtle is sent packing from his leadership role how much longer will be in the Senate, if he can’t be the Senate Majority Leader, he might quit and make more money from the Chinese.

I have the greatest respect for Josh Hawley.

Nothing but admiration for his perception, intellect, and abundant common sense.
