LOUISVILLE — There were only two things Mitch McConnell didn't want to talk about Thursday — whether he will run for re-election in 2020 and his eventual legacy.
In his first one-on-one interview since his landslide re-election to a sixth term and his expected ascendance to U.S. Senate majority leader, McConnell talked at length with the Herald-Leader about how he wants to use his new role to help Kentucky, a possible run for president by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul and the conventional wisdom that McConnell is unpopular.
McConnell, relaxed and in a great mood in his Louisville home, wouldn't say whether he will try for a seventh term in 2020, and he cut short any discussion of what his legacy might be.
"I don't want to start writing a legacy now," said McConnell, who is 72. "I'm looking to the next six years. When you've been in office as long as I have, everybody wants you to look back. I'm looking forward, and I've been given some fairly significant responsibility in Washington, and I'm going to try to exercise that in the most responsible way I can and try to make some changes for the country. So I'd rather not muse about the past."(continued)

Not likely. I think McConnell detests Cruz and everything he stands for.
LOL.... You are not used to reading my posts.
Tust me, I WILL support Cruz and I know that McConnell hates him.
Mitch, you suck like a hoover on steroids......please shut up!
Tust=Trust
He won because he was the Least Objectionable Politician.
He won because Grimes would've brought about the Apocalypse 6 years sooner.
He won because it's better to hit a brick wall going 20 mph instead of 90.
One incompetent RINO endorsing another incompetent RINO.
Looks like the Beltway establishment Pubbies have once again hit the ground CRAWLING. Can GROVELING be far behind?
CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD IS 202-224-3121!
It’s worth the call just to experience the WORST “Music on Hold” system in the known universe!
(Ya suppose they’re trying to economize? LOL)
It seems like all the people that look for alien civilizations by day and saquatches by night are going to vote for Rand Paul!
Will you No matter what frauds please just go find a nice no matter what site like RNC.com and play in it?
There is not one person on FR that’s 100% or die. Not one. We are fine at 80% The traditional rule that one functional moron the other night never heard of and accused me of making up.
Get real. Nobody expects 100%. It's when it falls below 70% or involves a position that is so destructive, so vile, so cravenly corrupt, that the candidate reaches the threshold of opposition.
Support for amnesty for illegal aliens is well beyond that second threshold. You don't like it. Tough.
It’s a Kentucky thing, at least for now. It’s the polite thing to say to your junior senator.

McConnell to Ron Jr.: You fondled mine, I’ll fondle yours.
Rand Paul can not get far enough away from the “crazy” to ever be President.
We know how that goes...
“RAND PAUL IS NO LONGER A CONSERVATIVE “
He never was anyway. He was a Libertarian, a liberal that hates taxes.
You seem to have anointed yourself spokesman for his site. Interesting!
You ether need to take courses in typing or English composition because it is very difficult to grasp what you are struggling to say.
As along as you are happy being a one issue voter. I try to make decisions based on a number of issues and priorities.
