Even he thought he was going to lose.

You know who didn’t think he was going to lose? Who was quite confident that he would win?

Mitch McConnell.

He was so confident that he decided to hold open a Supreme Court justice space indefinitely so that “the next President” could have the opportunity to nominate their choice.

He sure didn’t think he was doing that favor for Hillary Clinton, even though the media was giving her a 90% chance of winning.

Mitch McConnell knew he was going to win in 2016.

I wonder if he’s as confident about 2020?
