NRSC Chair Rick Scott told reporters this morning that he speaks often with Trump, assumes he is running in 2024. And he declined to commit to supporting McConnell for Majority Leader if GOP wins senate, saying there will be a leadership election.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, Willard the Rat would make an excellent Demonrat Senate Leader. He’s been promoting their agenda and candidates for years.

[Roccus]

By who?
By the new Senate or by the lame ducks as the House does?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Cotton is another Establishment hack, so that’s a “Hell, no !” Hawley isn’t.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Tim Scott is just a darker Flimsey Grahamnesty.

[LS]

While he’s not Hawley, I’d settle for Scott or Blackburn.

“I’ll know that the House is serious when someone other than Kevin McCarthy is made Speaker”

Scott is not a leader, he’s a follower. We need people willing to unapologetically stand up and eviscerate the corrupt establishment. Hawley, Rand, Cruz are three.

The first best thing to reforming the senate is to oust Mitch.

[MinorityRepublican]

Senators like Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham will vote for McConnell. Senate is slow to change due to their 6 year terms.

The play should be in the House. Replace McCarthy?

[silent majority rising]

Rand Paul would be good. I also think that Ted Cruz would be good.

[LS]

You can forget Rand or Cruz.

They are personally way too unpopular to lead a Boy Scout troop.

Don’t know about Hawley.

Cotton is another Establishment hack, so that’s a “Hell, no !” Hawley isn’t.

Hawley couldn't get five votes for leader.

[ConservativeInPA]

The question now becomes who is worthy to be leader? Only one name comes to my mind and he's probably not interested and there is no way all these RINOs will vote for him.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate needs to be replaced.

[fieldmarshaldj]

And that’s why the Senate GOP is an unserious body.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That speaks to the corruption and hackery of the Senators, not Sen. Hawley. Again, why the Senate GOP (and House) isn’t a serious body.

[DoodleDawg]

That speaks to the corruption and hackery of the Senators, not Sen. Hawley.

Or the fact that Hawley is a light-weight interested in nobody and nothing but himself and his personal ambitions. He has all the leadership ability of a tree stump.

Loved that movie!

[JoJo354]

I can’t stand to listen to Romney with his lip smacking or whatever makes that click sound he makes while speaking. It is annoying.

[JoJo354]

The only way to do that is getting all the voters on the same page and with the Republicans throughout this country, just isn’t possible. The Dems have no problem getting their whole party across the country on the same page but the Repubs, not so much.

[TBP]

MTG for Speaker.
