Should Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell step down from the top position in Congress, Republicans will be looking for someone savvy enough to accomplish a difficult legislative to-do list and trusted by the president.
President Donald Trump has not held back in his repeated criticisms of McConnell. Trump blames him for failing to repeal Obamacare in the first six months that Republicans controlled both the Congress and the presidency.
A Senate majority leader under Trump has a difficult job of working to pass complex legislation, including Obamacare repeal, immigration reform, tax reform and a massive infrastructure spending bill, in a sharply-divided chamber with a slight majority. All without attracting the ire of the commander in chief.
Here are seven senators that could be tapped to lead the caucus in the unlikely event McConnell steps down or retires:

The whole Republican Senate are garbage with an exception of a few. We did not get the Senate when you consider this crap. They have been good for nothing for many years and all of them must be replaced with real men.

Agree. How about Lee?
Yes, but I like Mike Lee for SCOTUS.
We have had the same. I had to weld substantial latches for lids on our trash barrels.
Seems to fit all of them well.
Swine works too.
Yes, I know. And obamacare is too big a pot of corruption to repeal. Single payer will be even bigger and it is the only way that elected congressmen will “end” obamacare. I don’t think it matters if ALL the sitting Republicans save half a dozen actual conservatives get successfully primaried- 90% of the eager new Conservatives will jump into the corruption game as soon as they reach DC. The Republic is over. We can only try to keep our guys in control at the top. Congress will figure out soon enough that if they unite on a leftist agenda they can totally override the President. I expect it to happen de jure as well as the now hazy de facto situation. Then the President has to take real control.
RINOS every one.
It’s easy to be a loNE wolf. It quite different to herd a bunch of lone wolves. Let’s say for a moment McConnell is a total dud. Then the chamber should still take the lead of Trump. Apparently the President’s leadership is just as jello as the Senate Majority leader.
