With Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announcing on Wednesday his intent to end his reign as GOP leader in the Senate, speculation about who will run to replace him in the role quickly began to mount.

Top of the list of potential contenders, according to early chatter, appears to be the so-called “three Johns:” Sens. John Thune (R-SD), John Barrasso (R-WY), and John Cornyn (R-TX).

Thune is currently the second-ranked Republican in the chamber, serving as minority whip — a role in which the holder performs head counts and rallies members of the party for votes and quorum calls.

The No. 3 Republican in the Senate is Barrasso, who serves as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference. Cornyn is a former Republican whip and ex-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee tasked with getting Republicans elected to the Senate.

None of the “three Johns” appeared to be ready to make any sort of announcement shortly after McConnell delivered remarks on the Senate floor declaring his plans to step down.

Alternate title

“Here are three guys that will not be the next senate majority leader”

There is a reasonable chance that GOP controls it all.

a non MAGA could find it difficult to exist.

I reject all three of those out of hand. They're partly responsible for the huge mess the US govt is in. They're good ole’ boys who'll go along with the ‘program’, and I'm thoroughly done with their ‘program’.

Aren’t all the guys “Johns” in Washington DC?

But these Johns are the prostitutes. They put out for the K Street lobbyists for cash.

I see your point.

I’ve expressed the notion of all of them going to Washington and ‘striking it rich’.

They are “Fellatio Algers”.

Senator Johnson would be my pick. I like Marsha Blackburn too. Ted Cruz would be great too.
