Kentuckian's. Why do you still vote for Mitch McConnell?

Does his work still make you feel like, this man is on top of his job in DC? Vote his old arse out. Be done with him.

ETA: Just don't go stupid and vote back in a Rino or Democrat. Both are the same.

I think he's announced this is his last term. I'm not a Kentuckian, but I think there's a strong possibility he'd be primaried if he ran again.

Louisiana Democrats and Rino's have a strong hold on the state right now from what I am seeing. Honestly I cannot say. Possibly more likely that not.

Probably because he was the Senate Majority/Minority leader until about 5 minutes ago. And a longstanding successful one. Was last up for reelection in 2022.

His opponents were far worse. Plus Mitch brought home the bacon. He was a very shrewd politician in the day but is mentally challenged these days. He did keep Merritt Garland off the Supreme Court.
He became too timid with age.


He isn’t running again.

I hope Mitch is remembered kindly for his work for this country. Without him, the democrats have 2 more justices on the Supreme Court right now.

Having said that, Mitch is a politician first and a conservative second. He’s on the Republican team, so he played the game for them. Who knows what he actually believes, but he always played to win, sometimes with a longer vision than other republicans in leadership. Rest assured, if Mitch was for it, it was because it was going to benefit the party at some point.

That’s probably just because they got lucky with GameStop stock. Completely normal for people who make less than $200k a year at their occupation to have net worths of over $30m.

Apples to oranges. You may not like MJ as SOTH, but at least he has mental acuity and cognitive function. You can't say the same for Mitch McConnell. Have you seen or heard him lately?

Do you really think he is winning without cheating or is it just easier for the CIA to keep him vs blackmailing a new Senator?

Sometimes I think even Mitch wasn't always bad. I wonder what the Deep State did to him.

Kennedy???? Are you serious? The one liners alone are reason enough to vote for him.
