Fingers crossed.

Go enjoy your ChiCom money, Mitch. Don't be a Fetterman/Feinstein etc.

In before someone points out he has a Dem governor:

Quote:
If McConnell decides to retire from the Senate altogether, and not just from his leadership position, it would be up to Democratic Governor Andy Beshear to fill the vacancy. However, Kentucky's Republican-controlled legislature recently passed SB 228, which would constrain Beshear's power by requiring him to choose one of three candidates recommended by leaders of the same political party as the outgoing senator. Beshear originally vetoed the bill, but his veto was overridden by the legislature. So, there is no need to worry about a Democrat being appointed as a replacement.

America is ready, we can handle your departure, Mitch.

EDIT: Other thread was up first, mea culpa. Please lock. Also, please do go retire, Mitch, if anyone on your staff happens to read this ever. I hear Beijing is beautiful this time of year.

Pretty good news, if true. But IMHO, any positive impact will be muted by whichever of his RINO deputies replaces him. Now if it's Rick Scott, on the other hand..........Giddy up!

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Kentucky, if you know what's good for you...let Rand Paul help select the other Senator from you state.

Yes
He and Diane Finckelstein need to have a going away party together.

No - he just sent out a tweet. He's coming back on Monday. McConnell can't leave because the Democratic governor will get to appoint the replacement. They vote in November (hopefully for a new governor).
