ShakeThatYamMitch McConnell freezes at press conference in what appears to be a mini-stroke.
ProteusIs it wrong to hate evil people? I’ll admit, the day he is no longer in office (however that may occur), will be a day I celebrate. I feel this man has done unforgivable damage to our society. Term limits and campaign finance reform would go a long way to keep his ilk out of seats of power.
Turkey_Titty_cityyou are assuming he won't be replaced by someone far worse. which he very well may be
while that’s possible, I’m hopeful still.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Daniel Cameron is essentially his protege and is rather popular in KY. If he doesn’t win Governor he’ll likely take over when Mitch retires/dies.
Can I hope they both die?
Don’t hate the player, hate the game 😎
DarkGamerThis player changed the rules of the game, for the worse.
Hegar... is a phrase that's only ever used to justify appalling behavior.
Not justifying his actions, simply shifting emphasis from the actions of the individual to the circumstance which condition the individual’s actions. I think it avoids reductive moralization of politics and how it works.
Mitch is evil? Get rid of this individual and things will improve? It’s that kind of mindset that blinds one to a more systemic critique. How about critiquing the totally impotent “left” that has been unable to mobilize any actual resistance to right wing policy? Just as an example.

Anyone who replaces him will lack the decades of experience wielding power that he has.
They may be worse ideologically, but they won't have the ability to get shit done, or rather to stand in the way, like he has.
Hell, he even survived openly criticizing Trump. Any other republican who did that in today's world would be gone from the party, and yet McConnell is still the senate minority leader.
StarServalWorse, yes. But with the direction the GOP is going, it won’t be someone as crafty as Mitch. Anyone who isn’t more extremely batshit insane than their opponent is unelectable in the current GOP. So yes, there will undoubtedly be someone worse than Mitch, but whoever it is will loudly proclaim how evil they are with glee.
