    Default McConnell re-elected Senate GOP leader, defeating a challenge from Rick Scott

    WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was re-elected as Republican leader on Wednesday, defeating a challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida that reflects growing angst within the party after it underperformed in the midterm elections.

    The secret-ballot victory was confirmed by McConnell spokesman David Popp, with Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., telling reporters that 37 Republicans voted for McConnell while 10 supported Scott and one senator voted "present." The vote came after the conference rejected a motion by McConnell's dissenters to delay the leadership election, which 16 Republicans voted for, according to two sources.

    Whoever has the largest caucus wins- no pun intended!

    But no! That is the truth actually!

    Mitch has a larger caucus of Republicans Senators that do not want to come anywhere near Social Security!

    Rick Scott was threatening he would basically end it in 5 years! And then someone could take a look at it again 5 years later! BLA! BLA! BLA! LIE! LIE! LIE!

    Yeah right! The Richest man in Congress- worth 200 million dollars! Trying to take away the old folks money! I dare you to just look at how his millions multiplied since DONALD TRUMP told him- "I JUST MADE ALL OF YOU RICH GUYS MUCH RICHER" at their party at MAR-A-LARDO to celebrate Trump's Tax BILL!

    McConnell is smart enough to know- that fucking with the Old Folks Social Security would be the end of the Republican party- as he knows it anyway!

    Rick Scott should be in a mental ward- he has no caucus- and if he does have one- HE CAN SHOVE IT UP HIS GAY ASS!

    Leave my Social Security alone!

    Scott was no improvement over turtle-face, actually worse, and that's saying a lot.

    Scott ran a health company that was busted for the biggest medicare fraud in history, up to that point. The old people of Florida thought he would make a great leader. Scott is just like Trump.

    He's their best choice. Rick Scott looks and acts like a killer reptile. He's horrible. If those were my only two choices, I'd go with McConnel. He can't do that much harm in the minority, and he'll keep the freaks in line.

    McConnell knows the job. He plods along and gets his way. He is absolutely ruthless.

    The truth about Republicans is bad enough- NO ONE NEEDS TO LIE ABOUT REPUBLICANS!

    Why are Republicans in such denial of the truth?
