Donald Trump’s attempt to oust the GOP Senator from his leadership spot seems to be going nowhere…
And his calling McConnell’s wife slurs ain’t helping him either ….
Republican senators are rallying around Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) after a disappointing midterm election for the GOP.
A push by a group of Senate conservatives to delay Wednesday’s leadership election is running out of steam, even though senators don’t yet know whether they will have 50 or 49 members of their conference until after the Dec. 6 Georgia runoff.
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott (Fla.), who is more closely allied with former President Trump, on Monday failed to convince other members of the Senate GOP leadership team to agree to delay Wednesday’s election — a sign that McConnell remains in full control.
Scott didn’t press his argument to postpone the election or indicate he planned to challenge McConnell when he met with the rest of the leadership team Monday afternoon.
GOP senators said they expect to have a full conversation about what went wrong in the midterms during a conference lunch meeting Tuesday….
McConnell: We underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of many of the people in our party and leadership roles is that they are involved in chaos.. which is why I never predicted a red wave

Rick Scott, coming off his absolutely gangbusters stint as head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, is launching a bid to oust McConnell.
Wanna bet he’ll be on the wrong end of a 99-1 vote?
No bet….
He, he, he…..
Anybody know what CG is saying?
Jack HAS to be surprised the Democrats hold the Senate
Add Daniel to the list of those probably with a long face…..
I wonder how they feel about another Trump try
Update……
McConnell easily keep’s his leadership of the US Senate caucus in rhe vote….
Thus giving Trump the ‘middle finger’?
