McConnell, you need to address the failed coup attempt by your political party and apologize for not ridding the WH of Trump in the 1st impeachment. You should be convincing your cohorts to vote to convict Trump and rally Americans to denounce trumpism.

Right, trying to overthrow the government and kill members of congress is just fine in Mitch's book.

Is that he thought all of his machinations in the Senate would bring him perpetual Power. And although he did some terrible things since 2009, he has ultimately brought about his own decline and, I believe, his fall from that pedestal he thought he could stand on for ever.

We can only hope.

He thought this would cement his base for all times.
And now he is faced with diminished power, a fractured party, and no control over his caucus.

He may wish he had retired and not run again in November. His life could get very difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if Romney, Collins, Murkowsky etc. decide to work with the Democrats to get some things done. He was the All Powerful Oz. Until he wasn't.

And yes I think Romney and Murkowski might indeed work with the Dems.
Don't know about Collins, she could do it however.

Yes Mitch should have left on a high note when he had the chance.
But his drive for power and money overrode his good sense.

Is a right wing mover-and-shaker. I'm guessing she gets plenty of "pillow talk" (as my Mom used to call it) from him to tell her what to do. We shall see.
