You can tell a lot about someone by who their friends are, and who they’re not.
Interestingly enough for Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, he has more friends amongst Democrats. According to a new Public Policy Poll, just 14% of Republicans approve of the Kentucky Senator, compare that to 17% of Democrats who approve of the GOP Kentucky Senator.

He earned it.
He’s also more popular with tortoises.

Bush Sr. was pretty popular with Dems when he broke his No New Taxes Pledge. McCain was pretty popular with Dems when he was a constant thorn in the side of the Republican Party (back when it was remotely conservative).

I will always give McConnell credit for blocking the “defund the Iraq war” bills that the Dems were pushing in 2007 right as the surge was beginning, and actually got pretty close a few times to passing. If those passed, the problems we have now with ISIS would seem like childsplay.
That being said, it’s time for new leadership.
The turd-le should be taken to the woodshed and the ‘Rat beaten out of him ...
