Mitch McConnell in hospital after fall in Washington DC

Correct. He has to appoint someone from the same party.

So the best Dem swaps, registers as a republican, gets appointed and then swaps back. Easy.

Can Dems swap? Isn't "swap to win" a GOP privilege? Mitch swaps to dem, appoints, done?

Why even swap back? Just has to caucus/vote with the Ds.

And I like this plan. Need to start fighting fire with fire.

Much as I hate McConnell if something happens to him the thought of the following is more frightening.

Majority Leader

Ted Cruz
Ron Johnson
Ric Scott
Marsha Blackburn
Tom Cotton


I could live with Mitt Romney

Don't know how likely the rest are, but seeing as literally everyone hates Ted Cruz I can't imagine he has a chance.
