Steve Schmidt reacts to Mitch McConnell's mid press conference freeze - The Warning

[MagaSmash]

At the very least; McConnell needs to RESIGN

[cab67]

1. "Do you want to go back to your office?"

Why not "Do you want to go to the ER?"

[Probatim]

6. No kidding - I showed my wife and she said I'd have been in an ambulance

or on the way to the farm.

Not going back to the office.

[Auggie]

2. Joe Biden is 80, Steve. Should he hand over the presidency to DeSantis?

Lay off the ageism and stick to HEALTH and ENGAGEMENT and WORKING FOR PEOPLE.

[Gore1FL]

7. He isn't showing signs of deterioration.

McConnell and Feinstein are.

It’s not ageism; it’s life.

[Auggie]

8. Did you watch the entire video?

He is targeting politicians in their 80s.

[Gore1FL]

9. He targets politicians in their 80s who were showing signs of serious decline.

I didn't hear him mention Biden.

My mom went into a decline in her late 60s. She continued that decline until her death at 78. My dad died just short of 92. While time removed some of his edge, he was very sharp.

We can't ignore age-related decline when it occurs. Obvioulsy we shouldn't broad-brush becasue of age. It's not agism to recognize the effects of age; it's biology.

[Auggie]

10. IMO Schmidt makes it easier for Republicans to make it an issue for Biden

They'll ignore McConnell and TFG, of course.

3. The KY Legislature made sure a Republican fills McConnell's seat

By a law forbidding Gov. Brashear, a Democrat, from appointing someone else not of McConnell's party. Sneaky bastard was in on it just in case.

I feel no pity for Mitch. Likely had a mini stroke on live TV.

[Rebl2]

4. Can the governor

just not fill the seat if McConnell were to resign and wait for the next election.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. He could likely do that. But would he?

Brashear is ahead in the polls for Governor in Kentucky and is well liked by many Republicans there.

Kentucky is one of those states that elect Governors there in odd numbered years.

[wnylib]

11. If the governor appointed a Republican to

complete McConnell's term, there would still be a chance to flip the seat in the next election. So McConnell's gimmick to replace him with another Republican is limited..
