any chance we can replace McConnell with DeMint as the Senate Minority Leader?
DeMint can “school” Dingy Harry properly but I have little confidence in McConnell
Nah. We need McConnell in there. He understands Democrats. He can work with them. Experienced X-aisle negotiator. This nasty election screwed up a lot of sweetheart deals for some of Mitch's contributors and he needs to get back to business as usual.
Everybody just simmer down, OK? Next week, Reid, Boehner, and McConnell will meet in a cozy little Georgetown bar and smooth things out so that no matter what's going on in the country, their show will run as smoothly as ever. DeMint has a "loose cannon" tendency that upsets people too much.
Rand Paul needs a committee assignment (I suggest "Highway Beautification") and to be sent on a fact-finding tour of Rumania, closely followed by a visit to the mess-kit repair facility at Twenty-Nine Palms.
