He is probably just fine. Schumer ordered him out of the Senate building so the vote balance (Dems + 2) is restored. When Uncle Fester or whats-her-face from CA return, McConnell will make a speedy recovery.

Has his wife Chow Chow fled the country yet? We will know how serious this is if she bails. That is the most recent standard.

An interesting thing about being 80 is the frequent interaction with the medical community.

Every visit with every medical person is greeted with the question “What’s your date of birth”. A second frequent question is “have you had any recent falls”

Mitch falling is only partially due to old age.

It's not the fall that gets you when you're 80, it's the landing.

What evidence do you possess that leads you to believe Ms Chow has dealings with China?

I heard her speak at Cpac and she is a conservative in my view

Are you just racist?

And it will be taken away from them. Power in oneself is an illusion. Nothing is as it appears. McConnell will be gone when it is his time to do so, and God’s will be done. With all of McConnell’s perceived power, he will not be able to stop it.

Be careful on hoping it is fatal. Kentucky has a Dem governor. If the Turtle kicks it then the Dems get another Senate seat.
