I have wondered that. I have lived in Kentucky for twenty years, and as a supporter of term limitations, I have felt that McConnell has been in office long enough. But over the years, neither party has offered a candidate who is competent enough to take his place.

You should be limited to two terms. Then, go back to being a lobbyist at the firm.

Years ago I remember reading about sickening complimentary article on McConnell in the National Review. It was really a hagiaography. It pointed out that he had been a Senate page. The time between being a page and senator wasn’t that long. It was almost like he entered as a page and never left! Of course the author thought this was great. I doubt McConnell could his way back to Kentucky on his own even before the current illness!

Repeal the 17th Amendment! Bring us back to the role the Founders intended for the States! Senators now are nothing more then Congresscritters-at-Large serving 6 year terms. This is why they show the same level of partisanship as the House!

Even Senate termimits would be better then the current situation!
