I mean, sure, but we're well into the realm of academic looks into wild hypothetical situations here. And there is a possible path onto committees in this case: I could see it as part of a deal with Schumer, sort of "stealth-caucusing" with the Democrats to protect her reputation. Again, this is a total hypothetical that I find interesting solely because I don't know what Senate rules say would happen in such a situation.
There was a single Bull-Moose in the Senate before, he was rather lonely and bored, iirc.
