Does he feel that he can be more of a factor at Heritage, or is he just tired of battling in the Senate?
“Does he feel that he can be more of a factor at Heritage, or is he just tired of battling in the Senate?”
I think the latter part of your reply says it all.
DeMint sees the writing on the wall. Harry Reid is going to do whatever he can to further marginalize the “Republican voice” in the Senate — his move to end the filibuster shows where things are going there.
The Senate isn’t going to be an enjoyable chamber in which to be a Republican for the next four years. Indeed, the struggle may last much -longer than- four years.
Are there any conservatives down there who would make a competent replacement?
I will heavily donate to Heritage with Demint at the helm!
