My prediction: Mitch McConnell will not be Majority Leader, even if both Republicans win in Georgia.

[kentuck]

I believe that at least 2 Republicans will change their affiliation to Independent and will caucus with the Democrats if both Republican candidates win in Georgia.

It's just a hunch and no inside information.

Some might say it is only wishful thinking?

[beachbumbob]

1. wishful thinking, GOP lacks guts same as always

[Turin_C3PO]

2. That would be nice

but I’ll believe it when I see it.

3. Who? And don't say Collins. She won't. These senators are courted by both sides.

Why would they give that up? I hope you are correct though.

[kentuck]

6. I would admit that it is a long shot but...

I think there are a few that believe Mitch McConnell has been too close to the politics of Donald Trump and is greatly responsible for the situation we now find ourselves. They do not want that to continue, in my opinion.

8. I don't think it will happen but...

Murkowski is most likely, she was primaried by the GOP a few years back and won back her seat as an independent didn't she? Probably wouldn't hurt her in Alaska. Romney probably could pull it off in Utah as well given his unique base.

[Demsrule86]

12. I just think at this point she won't but boy would it be great.

13. update.

We dont need em.

4. I think Biden's DOJ might have something special planned for Ron Johnson

If I was Biden, I would just hand a print out to the incoming AG of the following Factcheck.



https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/oct/20/facebook-posts/fact-checking-unproven-claims-about-hunter-biden-a/
By Sunday, the conspiracy theory had made its way to Fox News. "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo noted that a name written on the back of a federal subpoena included in the Post’s story appears to belong to Joshua Wilson, an FBI agent who has worked on child pornography cases.

"Connect the dots: If an FBI agent is working on child pornography issues for five years, why is he subpoenaing the laptop of Hunter Biden? Is there a connection here?" Bartiromo asked Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.

Johnson did not give a direct answer. "Well, I think you just made the connection," he said. "Again, this is what the FBI, I think, has to come clean about."

22. Any news

about who's going to be the AG??? It's got to be someone who is strong and believes in accountability, none of this sweeping under the rug.

5. I wouldn't be surprised if Mitch retires if the two Democratic candidates win today

He'll cite health or wanting to spend more time with his wife. He's done what he set out to do. Why would he want to stick around to be minority leader?

[ShazzieB]

9. You may have something there!

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. He'd have a very hard time taking a back seat to somebody else, especially a Democrat!

Either way, this is going to be a looong day!

[smirkymonkey]

19. Especially since Kamala is going to be the one to tell him to sit down and shut up.

I can't imagine that he would be able to endure that humiliation. Although I would relish it.

[temporary311]

14. I'm not sure,

as it would mean a Dem would be picked to fill his seat.

[Volaris]

15. Because 'topping form the bottom' still means you're a top.

And Yertle will die before he goes home.

[Buckeyeblue]

18. My only thought was this would give him cover if he wanted to go

While his replacement would be a Democratic appointee, it puts the governor in a tough spot. Does he nominate himself? Or does he run for reelection?

1 senator doesn't make the difference, especially since the moderates will really be in control.

And you have to wonder how much Mitch wants to lead the shit-show that Cruz and his gang have become.

7. Was thinking the same thing

Here is hoping we get our wish, good for us and especially good for our beloved country. This country can use a break.

[Act_of_Reparation]

10. I sincerely doubt it.

[judesedit]

11. I'm hoping and praying for the same

🤞🙏

[onenote]

16. I think everyone would say it is wishful thinking.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

17. Who knows how to stick it to the poor better then mitch ????

Rand Paul would have no mentor

Do it Mitch, I double dog dare you !!!!!

[malaise]

20. Agree

He's not well and he created this mess

[helpisontheway]

21. Never. Wishful thinking. They were up Trump's butt for 4 yrs. nt
