Politically Speaking, Mitch McConnell Is a Dead Man Walking Right Now
Townhall ^ | 2/18/2025 | Matt Vespa

Most of the time, when Donald Trump bashes you, it’s over. When it’s done behind the seal of the presidency, it’s doubly over. For Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who’s no longer the leader of the Senate Republicans, the man is, politically speaking, a dead man walking. His approval numbers are absolute garbage, and he’s solidified his reputation as being the “odd man out” among Republicans when he voted against Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard for secretary of defense, Health and Human Services secretary, and director of national intelligence respectively.

McConnell is clearly going out scorched earth.

Mitch has been a major part of the Deep State problem, the whole time he has been in the Senate.

These days, his patch of earth to scorch is rather small.

Physically, he can barely walk.

Yep. You’ve been there 30 years you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Not so sure about the 'walking' part for this particular decrepit neocon/rino. 'Rolling', maybe?

He needs to go...now! If I’m not mistaken, Kentucky requires a special election for this if he were to retire.

I’d say he’s toxic waste.

It’s to the point Collins and Murkowski are staying clear of him.

I agree HE must be put to the bluegrass pasture. But, I worry about a special election in Ky. I don’t understand how a state can keep electing McConnell and at the same time elect Sen. Paul. Will Beshear run and win? Am I right in assuming he’s a popular governor despite being a Democrat? We can’t afford another Democrat Senator !!!

Turtle’s get disabled when their swamps get drained. Seriously though old Mitch is way past his political career expiration date. Must be some glorious club that Senate when the members goal is to leave in the stiff horizontal position.

He is no better than Kennedy, McCain, Lautenberg, and Feinstein who all thought it a badge of honor to go out of their Senate seat prone and at room temperature.

Pathetic. They think they will be remembered. In fact, they will be buried both literally and figuratively. No one will remember or care.

He got elected the night of Reagan’s 49 state victory, our only senate pickup.

. . . And McConnell is doing his best to help his donors and staff on the way out the door.

Well, on the other hand, Mitch votes in lockstep with the democrats now, so would it actually change the Senate? No.
