Rubio Suggests Senate Republicans Should Consider Ousting McConnell From Leadership
The Federalist ^ | 11/11/22 | By: Shawn Fleetwood

Posted on 11/11/2022 11:54:49 AM PST by Pollard

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio added himself to the growing list of GOP senators suggesting that the party must reevaluate its leadership in the upper chamber following Republicans’ disappointing performance in the 2022 midterms.

In a tweet posted Friday morning, Rubio called for the Senate GOP to postpone its currently scheduled leadership vote next week, saying that Republican members of the upper chamber must ensure party leadership is comprised of individuals willing to advance the will of GOP voters.

“First we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans (of every background) who gave us big wins in states like #Florida,” Rubio said.

Not that we all have to be on board with every single issue but Marco does have a point here.

It really wasn’t Trump’s job, any candidate for governor’s job, but it was the House and Senate party leadership’s job to put together a winning strategy.

Mitch put together a winning strategy for people who supported his viewpoint. Not a strategy for the Republican party.

Mitch was not the only reason Republicans performed poorly, but he was one of the reasons.

Marco is right on this one.

i am 95 percent tired of McConnell, he led the D’s act out their TWO fake impeachments when they were both OBVIOUSLY fake charges
and he’s been giving some money to some really worthless candidates

it is time for some genuine principled leadership imho

Go for it Marco. He’s not perfect, but I would certainly take him over China Mitch.

Even more important is that McCarthy is not the man to be Speaker. He’s not real bright, has no sense of strategic messaging and is clueless as to what they are facing in terms of Democratic campaigns and social media and other adaptations to modern technology and communications. They say that you have to dance with them that brung ya, but I’m not real sure that McCarthy brung us to this point. Placing him in the media as the Republican leader will be a world class mistake.

Now that John McCain is gone, McConnell is the leading Republican argument for term limits.

the only positive I will ever say about China Mitch is that he saved us from Garland getting a SCOTUS seat.

Why is there even a debate about McConnell ?

He’s got to be replaced in January, before he’s allowed to do any more damage.

Backing Murkowski, who votes with Biden 67% of the time, should’ve been the last straw for Mitch.
