They'll replace him with the newer model - a racist, elderly 75 year old man.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's too much of a risk for the GOP. At that age they're more able to molest the interns again.
Best to replace Mitch with someone who is uncertain if lemonade will catch on and is skeptical of non-wooden dental implants.
Don't worry, they'll find an asshole to replace him. It is way easier than to find a non-asshole in that party, anyway.
They don't even have to work very hard given Rand fucking Paul still has a seat. May as well just fly over a Russian oligarch to replace him.
May as well just fly over a Russian oligarch to replace him.
That would streamline GOP propaganda in quite a way, yes.
Might be hard to find another asshole who’s as ruthless about loopholes and dirty tricks. I’d say there’s a 90% chance that replacing him weakens the republicans.
Lets hope for the best (for humanity, not for them).
I'm sure they'll find an asshole to replace him. I'm just afraid they'll find a worse asshole than him.
Well, that's always the risk with the GOP.
I wonder which asshole is more likely to replace him in the current senators.
Rick Scott?
Health scare? What health scare? Most pleasant video I have seen in a while.
I watch it on loop every morning. Sunshine and bluebirds in my heart while I sip my coffee, every time. 🤗
Whomever they get to replace him has a big shell to fill. Perhaps Bowser is available? The internet tells me he's only 34.
"Impeaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches..."
"Shadow race" definitely sounds like democracy to me.
The shadow part is usually implied, I'm surprised to see it actually written
Yep, all of the sudden they're worried! Someone must've found Mitch's horcruxes!
My vote's for Lord Buckethead.
Although at this rate, Mitch will be replaced by a bucket filled with his ashes.
Shadow Race… really? Right when we are finally about to be rid of this reptilian‽ What’s next for the GOP? LGM? Sentient slime mold?
It is time for him to retire. Glad the race is being focused on.
I figured he’d just don the ring wraith attire and his corporeal form would fade into shadow
I'm expecting John Thune v. Rick Scott as the main fight.
