(CNN) On Thursday, in an interview with Punchbowl News, Mitch McConnell was asked about the prospect of being challenged for his leadership spot by Florida Sen. Rick Scott. In short, what McConnell said was this: Heck no, I'm not worried about Scott or anyone else taking my job as Senate Republican leader. To be clear: Scott has not publicly signaled interest in taking on McConnell for that post. In fact, I think Scott is far more focused on running for president in 2024 -- if Donald Trump takes a pass. Speaking of Trump, it's instructive to remember how utterly he has failed at recruiting someone to take on McConnell.
