I still believe that MoscowMitch will resign and retire soon and very soon

[malaise]

He won't have power and the party is about to devour itself - and he clearly is not well.
I wish he had to leave in disgrace but I'll take any departure.

[PJMcK]

1. Yeah, I'd be good with that

The Republican party is fracturing. They're fucked. I'm thrilled!

[malaise]

3. Join the line

They're fucked. I'm thrilled! You made me laugh ;chuckle:

[Lucinda]

2. Me too!

4. Could go either way. He looooooves to obstruct.

If we could get the votes to nuke the filibuster, then yeah, he'd get out of there faster than you'd ever expect a turtle to move.

[malaise]

6. No he's pissed that Trump nearly had him killed

said he will never speak with him again. I don't think he gives a flying fuck what happens to Trump at this stage.

[unblock]

16. Oh that I agree with, absolutely

[localroger]

19. Yep. I think he will give it a little time so as to not be quite so obvious.

But he's done with the game. In fact he seems to be welcoming impeachment and might vote to convict himself, just because of that being hunted by Trump's stooges thing. I suspect Mitch has taken that kinda personal.

[SheltieLover]

5. I hope so

+1 senate!

[Amaryllis]

7. I doubt that. KY has a dem gov who would appoint a dem to take his place.

[LiberalFighter]

8. He appears to be old with the slouch.

[blueinredohio]

10. I'm hoping when or if investigations start belle be in the middle of it all.

[JI7]

11. disagree, he is hoping to get back majority leader in 2 years

If Republicans decide to support someone else for leader I think he could then resign.

[malaise]

14. He'll be 79 in a month and is not in the best of health

and now he's now not on Trump's side. I think this is it.

[localroger]

20. The split this has created in the party makes that impossible

...and Mitch knows it already. If the party holds together there's no way the Trumpists go along with keeping him Senate leader, and if the party splits he might remain leader of his faction but it won't be the majority. Either way the glory days are behind him and he is old and his health is not looking good. I think he either resigns immediately after voting for impeachment as a final fuck you to the great T, or he waits a few months for cover then decides to "spend more time with his family."

[Phoenix61]

12. His wife resigned but I doubt he will.

He won’t have as much work to do since he won’t be Majority Leader. I think he’ll cruise through till the end of his term.

[BlueIdaho]

13. He's an old man

GOP Senators no longer hang on his every word and follow his directions blindly. The Trumpers and QLosers have zero respect for this old fossil. His days are numbered - both in the Senate and on earth.

[malaise]

15. That's my take as well

and they sure aren't hungry

[bdamomma]

17. I wish

he would also, but I don't think he will.

His party is ripped apart, Liz Cheney on one side and Ted Cruz, Hawley, Gaetz on the other side.

[FakeNoose]

18. I hope you're right Malaise

That's one person I really, really can't stand.

[Brother Buzz]

21. Clearly, his batteries won't hold a charge

But the idea of Josh Hawley becoming the senor senator from Missouri might be so repulsive to Mitch that he might just hang around and do nothing.
