I do believe you're correct. H5.
But I've heard it said that 0loser actually chose, as far as his stupidity can allow, a decent candidate. Fox News heads approved her, for one. I think Reid definitely has the votes, unless the exiting Dems are in such a huff over losing that they won't vote for anyone. I generally don't think that way, because that's DUmmythink (ascribing 3rd grade intent to adults). Still, perhaps it holds water.
Then, of course, McConnell has the opportunity to rubberstamp her, on the logic that she may be the least odious choice, and they can be seen to giving Kimg 0chuckles what he wants so we can move on to the larger fish.
Doesn't matter - Reid is a weasel and it will be fun to watch him shrink even more, like my willie in a cold pool.
