McConnell continues to make an excellent case for why the American people should put him out of a job.
I don't think the people of Kentucky will vote him out

but it is the height of stupidity to paint himself into a corner on ever accepting this nominee

it may be the best nominee we can hope for in the next 4 1/2 years

No, they won't vote him out. They proved that in 2014 so he isn't even up until 2020.

But I was referring to his job as majority leader.

The GOP’s Supreme Court wreck: Nominee Trump puts obstructionist Republicans in an impossible position

Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley's strategy of opposing every Obama SCOTUS nominee is set to backfire

The good ship GOP is slipping beneath the wave and the Senate Majority Leader continues to cling to his concrete life preserver, oblivious to the catalysm around him.

McConnell represents Kentucky, one of the states environmentally devastated by King Coal and now suffering severely from the collapse of its obsolete fossil fuel industry. HIs state has one of the very highest percentage of people dependent on Medicaid, SSI and ACA subsidies, yet he attempts to sabotage these lifelines on a daily basis.

He is a pathetic old man who has sold out his own people in return for a job as stooge to the Kentucky toffs. Pathetic

Too bad, George. No vote for you. Roberts can kiss McConnel's ass on this one.
Thank you for your sympathy. Personally, I'd rather see the seat kept open until President Hilary gets to appoint Al Sharpton and he is confirmed by the Democratic Senate next year.

The worse part of this are the repercussions. If Mr. Trump won the general election and there is a Democratic majority in the Senate there is no way in hell that any Trump selection for the Supreme Court would get confirmed. The Court would be at 8 justices for at least another 4 years.
