Mitch McConnell

- Start date
That’s a start.
Everybody else over 65 in the Legislative and Executive branches should resign today.
I know you get a chubby over Trump power and going on a revenge tour, but Mitch is at a good point to retire. More should join him, including Biden and Trump.
And Ronna McDaniel is getting a new job, as The DNC Chairperson, given her extensive experience getting Republicans defeated - per The Bee.
Maybe get rid of all the Micks, too. As a Mick, I can say that.
Next to Trump, the most vile politician in my memory.
Mitch is like the college basketball player you hate on the other team but love on your team. Mitch could get his way by throwing some sharp elbows.
When it comes to political abilities, Mitch is in many ways the Senate/GOP version of Pelosi.
She’s headed for her true destiny - running a t-shirt shop in south Texas.
Will be either Thune or Cornyn I would imagine.
True that. He was a smooth, calculated operator, but alas, his time had come. Dbm is kidding himself. He'll be back here bitching about Cornyn this time next year.
It seemed like the dude was vapor locking every other day for a while.
Lots of these people need to be shown the door.
Lots of these people need to be shown the door.
If it's Cornyn or Thune yes we're doomed. We've made a lot of progress but still plenty of RINOS left. Rick Scott might be a good compromise.
I say Rand Paul is worse because he's actually a very smart guy, by all appearances. But then he checks his brain at the door to adopt silly positions to appeal to his fanboys like you.
I'm pretty sure Rand Paul is a true believer in every weird thing he does.
That is so true. Both wielded a decent club and both could count votes amazingly well.
lol….of course you think one of the few fiscal conservatives left is the worse
I suppose that's possible. It's a shame that someone intelligent enough to get an MD degree from Duke would still buy into so many kooky beliefs, even some that are medically related and decidedly un-scientific. I have met some doctors that are just totally not into any of the science behind their profession, though. Doctors leaning toward so-called "alternative medicine". If alternative medicine worked, we'd just call it "medicine"
I have no problems at all with his fiscal conservativism. I wish more politicians were like him and there was a discussion of how to pay for everything approved, including how to pay for social security in the long term and how to handle our expensive job as policeman of the world.
It was his kooky COVID-related rants that soured me on the guy.
Rand hated mask theatre and the fact that Fauci was a weaselly lying piece of shit.
Ergo OS hates Rand.
Isn't Rick Scott the bug eyed guy who looks like Nosferatu from the silent film? If so he would be on brand to follow McConnell.
Did your memory forget Harry Reid?
How about Dennis Hastert?
That's a really good - and apt - comparison. Both are/were masters at navigating DC politics. I'm sure there are folks waiting in the wings, but I honestly can't think of people on either side of the aisle that are as good at traditional politics as those two have been.
I don't get why the Mitch haters can't see that the SCOTUS would be a helluva lot more 'progressive' with him.
No one bats 1.000, but Mitch has overall been a good Republican leader in the Senate.
The Republican party has an infection. Self-promotion, purity tests and projection currently rule the roost in the House. They can't coalesce behind anything and of course the slim and growing slimmer majority makes matters even worse.
If they let the same thing happen in the Senate they'll be in for a world of hurt.
That's not to say the house should have passed the de facto amnesty bill of course.
