Rick Scott Announced He’ll Challenge Mitch McConnell
Twitter ^ | Nov 15, 2022 | Rick Scott

Posted on 11/15/2022 12:47:29 PM PST by Alter Kaker

The status quo is broken and big change is needed. It's time for new leadership in the Senate that unites Republicans to advance a bold conservative agenda.

That's why I'm running to be the Senate Republican Leader.

Scott bares as much responsibility as anybody for the loss. Instead of helping Bolduc and Masters, he blew tens of millions of Senate Republican fundraising dollars on luxury vacations and consultants.

Yeah right. He's an ex businessman and knows where the money is. Probably the top pay in kickbacks.

Nah, we’re stuck with the same Mc’s leading the House and Senate. So nothing changes, Dems will still run the country.

If McConnell needs to go, Rick Scott is not the solution - Scott is a straight up moron.

I wish Mitch would simply step aside. It seems the best course for all concerned.

Name one of a handful of GOP Senators that helped to stop the Red wave.

“Great the guy who floated killing Social Security weeks before the election.”

How could they choose this idiot to be the face of the GOP Senate? Even McConnell is better.

The problem is not that McConnell is the Republican Senate Leader. The problem is that McConnell is the leader Republican Senators want.

I have no problem with forcing McConnell out, but so long as there is no major change in the make up of Republican Senators, you should expect his replacement just like him. And possibly even worse because, give the Devil his due, McConnell did well on judges.

The guy who spent Republican senate campaign funds on promoting himself rather than the candidates who were actually running this year! Unbelievable.

Exactly...no one likes McConnell but he is savy and cagey. Scott just follows the wind and has no common sense.

McConnell is 80 soon to be 81. His day is done, you’d think he would want to step aside and go back to Kentucky (IF he knows how to get there!).

Any Kentucky Freepers have any idea who the heir apparent might be?

I think in Graham’s case it was calculated sabotage by a treasonous scumbag. I think In Scott’s case it was stupidity.
