Probably 300 more pieces of legislation than the current majority leader.
If the choice is mcconnel vs reid, can you, "trying to be reasonable" honestly say that there is no difference or that harry reid would be better for the country?

I'm saying that if we are confident the R's will take a majority in the senate *AND* If we are confident McConnell will continue to work against or ignore conservative issues & legislation *AND* if we don't want McConnell controlling the flow of legislation -- then McConnell is more of a risk to conservative issues than Grimes ever could be as a junior, nobody senator from KY.
Now, since you aren't confident that the R's will gain the majority in the senate and are convinced that Grimes will tilt the balance in favor of the d's, then by all means, re-elect McConnell.
I’m fairly confident that, as you said, McConnell will allow “300 more pieces of legislation than the current majority leader”. Based on what we’ve all seen, heard and/or read about him, those “300 more pieces of legislation” will likely include (with his strong urging) amnesty for illegal aliens, the GOPe changes/extensions to 0bamacare (not it’s repeal), more federal spending, etc.
I seriously doubt it will include any restrictions on the IRS, any mandated action on the border fence, any reductions or significant changes in the tax code; and on and on and on... No one should be surprised with what they get with McConnell. We all know better. He’s a political prostitute owned by the GOPe who actively and publicly fights *against* conservative members and he’s in-line to be the most powerful senator in congress when the Republicans regain the senate majority.
If we are scared we won’t regain the senate majority, then every R counts and you should vote for McConnell. If we are confident we will regain the senate majority with ample room to spare, I’d toss his conniving @$$ overboard faster than you could blink. In the latter scenario, Grimes is no threat to anything or anyone. Anyone with two-brain-cells to rub together should feel the same.
