Bennet is cleaning Mitch's clock from the floor of the Senate. (Cspan2)

Blackburn is presiding, and tried to stop him. Didn't work, the Colorado senator is still relaying McConnell's history as majority leader.

Catch it if you can.

ETA: He finished and they are adjourned. Looking forward to when the video is available. When Blackburn read him the rule about senators not saying bad stuff about each other, he stayed calm and thanked her, then noted McConnell's comment about Harry Reid being "the worst" and no one sanctioned Mitch for that.

last year. I really liked him.

Plus, he answered the actual questions we asked and was really down to earth and nice.

And he does have a nice voice.

He was appointed to Salazar's seat when Obama put Salazar in the cabinet. When he ran for the seat in 2010 he was challenged by Ken buck, the worst. I worked so hard for Bennet and gave more $$ than I could afford, but it was worth it.. He's a wonderful senator ..more conservative than me, but decent, honest and the real deal..

That was an exemplary speech. So impressive. Facts, logic, intelligence, and clarity!

I wish every American would watch and listen to this. I realize the mind-boggling fact that far too many Americans--millions and millions--could do so and not get it. Could actually believe that the word salad egomaniacal nonsense spewed by Trump is superior to this.

However, I've got to believe that there are at least some (many even?) with enough sense that this speech would sway them to vote to defeat Trump with a vote for Biden-Harris.

Realizing el trumpo culters mostly tune in for short, mean spirited take downs these days.

This, in contrast, is a classic, truly patriotic rant by a smart, informed, caring, gentle, decent human being.

Good for this aging soul to hear. Thank you, Senator Bennett. Will listen again and then probably again...
