Generally agree with your assessment of Mitch. Tried to get my in-laws to vote for Bevin against him in the Senate primary several years ago, which Bevin lost, before becoming governor.
That said, I think recent events have given Mitch some spine/cojones. I think getting accosted by rabid Leftists coming out of dinner with his wife and another couple was a wake-up call, one that works in our favor.
amazing that people confront people out to dinner and such. How do they expect them to respond.
