Mitch McConnell is one confounding person to listen to sometimes.
On one hand, he seems to say the right things on the surface that line up with conservative principles. The next he is someone that is going after everything that we all seem to love and stand for.
Just look at the way that he lashed out at Donald Trump following voting no on the impeachment. It was the weirdest damn thing I have ever seen.
It would be like if you spend six months to a year having contractors build your dream home. You wait and wait, and they finally give you the keys, and the second you get in the house you start putting holes in the wall with a sledgehammer they left behind.
The Nelson County Republican Party wrote Senator Mitch McConnell on Tuesday demanding he immediately resigns from his leadership position in the Senate.
This is the direct result of McConnell’s op-ed blasting Donald Trump.
In Kentucky, McConnell now has an approval rating of just 18%.
It’s not as bad as Liz Cheney’s 13%, but that is like saying that syphilis is better than AIDS. It’s true but still not good.
Three more counties have called for McConnell to step down as Minority leader.
The odds of him doing that are slim since the higher position he holds the more money he will make from China.
It is unlikely he could win another term in the Senate and there is a good chance he will lose his position after the 2022 midterm elections, especially if Trump is the kingmaker I expect him to be.
I suspect that Republicans running for the Senate will have to take a stand on whether they would vote to retain McConnell as Republican leader.
It will be politically wise to just say no to McConnell. Nelson County Chairman Don Thrasher pointed out McConnell’s “complete and total disdain for the will of your constituents” for the reason for the letter.
