re: Potential candidates who could replace McConnell as Senate GOP leader

It’s going to be Thune. The epicenter of the swamp is the Senate, and they NEVER turn on one of their own…. Parties don’t matter, as it’s all the uniparty in that chamber. They will put Thune in place, just like he has been training for years. The old guard needs to be primaried out, but I am sure there are snakes ready to take their place.
