“Doesn’t Ky have a Rat governor?
If McConnell retires can he appoint himself or another Rat?”

If McConnell dies or retires during his term of office Kentucky law provides for his party to send three replacement names to the Governor. The Governor will appoint one of the three.

Mitch has total control over the Kentucky GOP.

He’s a Senator as long as he wants to be.

Term limits NOW! But there will never be a law implementing term limits. If you were a fat and happy Congresscritter, helped along with bribes, etc., would you vote yourself out of the job?

My mother worked on the Hill as a secretary to a committee in the late 1930s/early 1940s. Even back then she said the Senate was an “old boys club.”

Enjoy it Mitch, you are gone in 2024. Conservatives in the Commonwealth have had their fill of you.

We can’t primary you bec you are the 900# gorilla. But we will Ditch Mitch in 2024. It’ll be painful voting a Dem into the Senate but ya gotta do what you gotta do.

I pray it’s not too late to save the Republic.

Every year is a year too long He needed to be put out to pasture a decade ago at least

The folks in Kentucky voted for this idiot and boy, did McConnell make them look like idiots.

McConnell is worth around 80 Million to 100 Million and maybe even more.

That would not be an action that saves the Republic.

Such actions would, at this point, have to come from other sources.
