Mitch knows how to play the long game just about as good as anyone in DC politics.

He's the most powerful republican politician in America and someone democrats actually fear because he possesses vast institutional knowledge about who's who in government/politics and the nuts and bolts of government machinery and he knows how to use that knowledge effectively.

That hasn't been all good for grassroots conservatism but there's been more hits than misses and denying Garland was a grand slam.

Basically the GOP's Tywin Lannister.

Even though I'd like to see him dissapear from the scene and never come back, I admit that he does know this stuff backward and forward. Kind of reminds me of the great Senator Russell in that respect.

No way he’s Tywin, maybe Baelish…

Outside the work he did with the judiciary has it been good for conservatism at all?
