“There are some good people there, but that doesn’t make them senate LEADERS.”
Well, considering the disgrace that our current senate leader is, just how special does one have to be to be senate leader? The bar is not very high.
All I’m saying is, you can’t make someone into a senate leader who doesn’t fit that type.
All I’m saying is they have to WANT it, and they have to be a leader type.
If there are better than McConnell there, who want it, and who can fit that type, more power to them.
The only ones I could think of were Mike Lee and Rand Paul and of those, only Paul might want it to my knowledge. I like Mike Lee but have no reason to assume he wants it or sees himself doing it.
Ted Cruz can run for the position if he wishes and he would have my support. That’s not the problem, the problem is they never make a freshman senator into the party’s senate leader.
Sure the bar is set low. But the original post was that Jim DeMint MUST do it...run for the position and take that leadership mantle. My response tells the story of the situation...DeMint only wants to retire from the senate. He does not want it and does not see himself in that role.
My comments were in the spirit of that TRUTH, whether we like it or not.
