I would be perfectly content with Chris Murphy as Senate leader. He's annoying enough to the left that he might have the votes

But why is annoying the Left more important than smashing the Rs? Also, who is the left? AOC? Chis doesn't annoy @aoc.bsky.social . Ask her. Is there some other Left you are talking about?

Murphy's post was 24hrs after Jeffries. Know I'll get pummeled, but I think there is a strategy here of trying to move voters in the middle, those more likely to respond negatively to "extremism," but wary of those making partisan points. I'm not defending them, just suggesting this is where we are.
