Good. Glad to see him go. I wonder who Mitch McConnell will pick as his replacement.

Ditch looks to have a tough row to hoe in 2022.

Plently-o-RINO seats in play.

The Base may not buy what he is sellin’ anymore.

In related news, Madame Chuck-A-Rama Abrams and Andrew Yang are suddenly extolling what a wonderful state Alabama would be for Democrats to live in.

"I live in AL. Won’t miss him a bit. Never opened is pie hole to support Trump. Former Democrat. We can do much better if our voters will just quit being stupid. Not as bad as Romitt, Toomey, Sasse and the like. We need a stronger conservative."

I'm in Alabama too.

I'll vote for whoever is endorsed by Trump. If Trump does not endorse anyone, I'll not vote!

I'm done with these POS Republicans.

Overstayed his welcome by decades. Should never have defeated Admiral Jeremiah Denton for reelection in 1986. Sabotaged Chief Justice Roy Moore’s run in 2017 in favor of Demonrat Jones.

Mo Brooks sounds good to succeed him, BUT, he’ll turn 69 3 months into the start of the 2023 term. The question is whether he wants to serve a single term or not. The Senate is the body where you have to really acquire seniority in order to get power, and he won’t do that in a single 6-year term.

Ideally, getting a young, hard-charging Trump Conservative in there is the best. Way too many old folks in the Senate ruining the country.

For goodness sake, let the man retire in peace so he can enjoy the me time he has earned. Alabama has plenty of time to find a suitable candidate. Why do we have to keep electing people simply because they are a warm body Republican?

He has an office in the Huntsville airport. I’ve never seen it occupied.

There was a Republican Senator from Illinois called Curly Brooks.

“A titan of Alabama politics, the 86-year-old politician has spent 42 years in Washington,”

He needs to go! And take the rest of the long haulers with him.

He’s demonstrated that he’s not as good a poker player as he’s led pres Trump and the senators supporting him to believe-he’s been outed as a sellout-I’d love seeing someone primary him-like a real conservative-pull his snout out of the DC trough and send him home...

One of our Texas senators needs a primary boot in his ass, too-Cornyn-another RINO who has been in DC too long...
