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

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.

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.

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.

The Republican version Diane Feinstein now days.
