I guess Mitch doesn’t understand that we don’t care if a Democrat is elected in his place because it won’t be too different than what we already have.

Speak for yourself. If you don't care whether or not we take the Senate, perhaps you're not paying attention to the extent of the destruction wrought upon us by Democrat Rule since 2008.

Nah man. It’s all about the burn now. I’m done with the GOP entirely. What’s left of the GOP after 2016 can caucus with the Tea Party.

Exactly. I read the Noonan piece Saturday morning and was struck by 2 things: 1) there must be a cutout somewhere for what a senate majority leader looks like because Reid and McConnell could be cousins, and 2) McConnell is dead-on right about the numbers: at 55-45 there isn’t much that can be done. Fortunately there are some good races in 2014 and the GOP should do well enough.

What McConnell and other GOP senators need to realize is that the “radicalization” of the House GOP is not an isolated matter; it has happened in the state legislatures and governorships as well. So in a very real sense GOP voters are used to more conservative representation and governance at the state level and in the House of Reps. As these people gain experience, they will start shooting for higher office (Senate). Ted Cruz is an early indicator of what is percolating up.
