re: Love him or hate...we owe Mitch McConnell one

You must realize in our current state, Mitch can profit personally far greater my being the minority leader.

Schumer is a great example, when he was minority leader, he was constantly in the press, now he is too busy trying to herd a bunch of cats to vote for a bill.

Now Mitch can sit back and say, you need some bipartisan bullshite, come to papa pass this little procedural clause for getting around china tariffs for my papa in law and Ill toss you a few senators to get it across the line (throw in a couple lake houses for them will ya, you know the routine, owned by a non profit NGO of course)..

He is the quiet Manchin (though I dont know why Manchin gets so much press, he is not a tiebreaker, that line was crossed long ago when Collins, Muleface from AK, and Romney became senators, not to mention Cass, cass, I cant even say his name, that arsehole from LA).
