Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) health scare has Republican senators wondering whether the 81-year-old lawmaker will stay in the top job beyond the 2024 election and who might eventually replace him.

    Don’t worry, they’ll find an asshole to replace him. It is way easier than to find a non-asshole in that party, anyway.

      They don’t even have to work very hard given Rand fucking Paul still has a seat. May as well just fly over a Russian oligarch to replace him.

        That would streamline GOP propaganda in quite a way, yes.

      Might be hard to find another asshole who’s as ruthless about loopholes and dirty tricks. I’d say there’s a 90% chance that replacing him weakens the republicans.

      I’m sure they’ll find an asshole to replace him. I’m just afraid they’ll find a worse asshole than him.

      I wonder which asshole is more likely to replace him in the current senators.

      Rick Scott?
