Don't worry, August 3rd is coming soon enough. We will hear he passed away after a long illness at that time.

If he's been dead for awhile, then I think Scott Jennings is going to have to answer why he said that he had a "20 minute" phone conversation with McConnell. (At least 3 people all said they had "20 minute" conversations with him. That seemed strange).

I like Jennings, but I hope he didn't allow himself to be used in order to deceive the public.

I could be wrong about this but didn’t I hear Thune saying that he has talked to him also?

Does he not have any family that gives a crap about him? Other than chinese lady who obviously serves a different master than decency.

Well then Thune should have to answer too if Turtle doesn’t show back up.

They're not going to admit he's been dead for weeks. They'll make it sound like it just happened even though everyone including Ray Charles can see this coming and even tell you when they'll wait to announce it.

True. But, I wouldn't be surprised if Thune lied.

McConnell has another "aide" who shadows him and looks like he is right out of Langley.

Maybe there can be a silver lining here. Maybe what few decent Republicans there are in the Senate can use this as a way to start a leadership challenge and force him out. I know it’s a pipe dream but let’s at least enjoy the thought for a few minutes before we have to swallow the reality of being stuck with Thune for a nice long while I’m afraid.

There's that "20-minute conversation" again. Almost like they were given a script.

Would be incredible. Get him out 2 years ahead of 2028.

If he was replaced today it wouldn’t be soon enough.
