I lie it. I assume Cruz will run. May be a time consumer. Do we have another strong conservative who can lead the senate?

I’d love to see Jeff Sessions challenge McConnell. He won re-election in Alabama last night without Democrat opposition. Consistently ranks among the five most conservative members in the Senate and has fought the Obama Administration tooth and nail on amnesty and other issues.

Of course, there is a great irony in Jeff Sessions being a member of the U.S. Senate. His career ambition was to be a federal judge and he was nominated to the federal bench by Ronaldus Magnus in 1986. His nomination was rejected by the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by the usual suspects, Joe Biden and Arlen Specter. So, he ran successfully for Alabama Attorney General and in 1996, the U.S. Senate. Session wound up serving on the Judiciary Committee with some of the same Senators who rejected his nomination for the federal bench.
