So now he can stay on for the rest of his term and be purposefully obstructive toward Trump just like John McCain did because he doesn't have to worry about reelection AND he can't be given the boot and replaces with a special election.
The ego of these guys.

Good riddance.
Who will replace him from sometimes red sometimes blue Kentucky?
My choice, a Senate delegation of this guy and Rand Paul would be the GOAT. Texas would have to replace Cornyn with Chip Roy to even try and compete:flown-the-coop said:

Flown-- thank you for the insights. Wasn't sure if being Majority Leader would out "trump" McCain's funeral. I can see the services occurring in China as well.flown-the-coop said:
I honestly do not think he will have the support for such. Though it will be billed as he wanted a simple ceremony in Kentucky.
If he is still in the Senate when the batteries run out the last time, then maybe he gets a service at the National Cathedral.
I understand Beijing may have additional ceremonies planned.

That is what he is going to do. Mark my words. Wonder who gave him one final giant payout to ensure he is obstructionist AF on his way out the door.
Trump needs to bring him into the white house and make it clear that he needs to vote with the party for the rest of his term or he is going to be audited out the wazoo and if so much as a penny that McConnel has is not accounted for he will bring the full force of the IRS down on him.
The ego of these guys.

Like McCain, he will probably pick one opportune time to f over Trump, then kill over

This. After seeing Garland as AG, I'm even more thankful he's not sitting on the Court.WolfCall said:
I am also peeved about Mitch's churlishness and his less than 100% support for Trump.
I'm sorry Mitch didn't follow the guideline of retiring when people still want you.
I did like a number of things Mitch did, to include getting Republican Supreme Court nominees approved by the Senate and my favorite: torpedoing the nomination of Merrick Brian Garland. Those accomplishments merit at least one Star from me no matter what else he does.
Roy voted against impeachment. That was a comment in the days after Jan 6 when a lot was unclear that we know now as well. He opposed having Cheney removed at the time solely for voting for Trump's impeachment which he thought was a reasonable position even though he voted the other way. Roy is a man of principle as is Massie. He also is one of the harshest critics of people like Cheney now. Roy is consistent and speaks the truth.PA24 said:my signature tells all I need to know about Roy boy.\aggie93 said:My choice, a Senate delegation of this guy and Rand Paul would be the GOAT.

There was the time, mostly during the first two years of Trump's first term, when everyone celebrated "Cocaine Mitch" running roughshod over the Senate Dems on judicial nominations, both for SCOTUS and lower.
But, other than those 2 years, he's mainly been a milquetoast eGOP squish.
