Best assassination in history. Ok, this quote is from the elections forum in a discussion of breaking the impasse by removing McConnell as majority leader: > [@Is there any way that Senate Republicans can override Mitch McConnell?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-any-way-that-senate-republicans-can-override-mitch-mcconnell/827231/7): > > > [@Is there any way that Senate Republicans can override Mitch McConnell?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-any-way-that-senate-republicans-can-override-mitch-mcconnell/827231/7): > > > > Of course, the chances of that happening are less than nil.

Wouldn’t the entire GOP Senate caucus be participating in it? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thread-for-watching-gopers-stand-up-for-crime/827210)._
