I would have to agree with him. His judge record is about the only feather in his cap. He’s been a pretty ineffective leader other than that.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Lying to the president and blocking the building of a secure border wall during Trump’s first two years is easily the most consequential thing Paul Ryan did. Let’s see what McConnell does.

a tradition deemed "false" and "entirely a matter of circumstance" by Politifact

If Corpseburg tips over in 2020, Politifakes will back-flip so fast on this that they'll snap their collective necks...

“only consequential thing I’ve ever done.”

[Responsibility2nd]

This fool could have blocked Obamacare. Or at least put a serious dent in it. He could’ve been a great leader. But he was just another squishy RINO Repug.

[jocon307]

Yes, yes it was. Kudos Cocaine Mitch!

[faithhopecharity]

he should ask PDJT to nominate a replacement for the corpse currently occupying a seat on the court

and start hearings to confirm him or her

let the chips fall where they may, it is worth doing

[JonPreston]

I’ve been watching the Turtle for decades. It’s the ONLY thing he’s done.

[Ann Archy]

YES IT WAS!! NOW GROW A PAIR....there is WAY more work to be done!

[dirtymac]

At least he is honest enough to admit he has not anything of any consequence for the 103 years he has been in office so that anything, including being negative, makes it to the top of his list. I have had mixed feeling about Garland but to make this as the most consequential does not say a lot about his book of life achievements. The prime speaker at his retirement party will not have a lot to say.

McConnell cited "a longstanding tradition of not filling vacancies on the Supreme Court in the middle of a presidential election year" in his refusal to even meet with Garland after the death of Scalia — a tradition deemed "false" and "entirely a matter of circumstance" by Politifact.

AKA the Biden rule but not just any election; one in which the President is not eligible for reelection. The end of his second term. A lame duck President.

Wikipedia sez:

A member of the Republican Party, McConnell was elected to the Senate in 1984 and has been re-elected five times since then.

After all this time, it's about time Mitch did something right.

[BobL]

I don’t care of he’s a NeverTrumper, the guy was AWESOME, and moved out at GREAT RISK, for us (i.e., Americans who didn’t want to lose the country) and for him.

We may not like some of his other stuff, but even there, I suspect that it is NOT HIM causing the problem.

Think about this, for example: Last year, when there were 51 Republican Senators, McConnell refused to change the rules to allow quick confirmation of Trump’s picks, particularly to the Courts (which now, I guess, run the country).

But was it really Mitch, or the herd of pigs he was trying to reign-in?

Answer: He now has 53 votes, and next week, according to news articles, this crap ends with a simple majority Senate vote.

And so, once Mitch got the votes, he ended the stalling. And no, my name isn’t Mrs. McConnell, nor any other Republican. Instead, I’m an OBSERVER, piecing together what I’m seeing.

[Sequoyah101]

It is about the ONLY thing he has done right.

[grey_whiskers]

Why is he speaking of himself in the past tense?

Sounds like he's getting ready to betray President Trump on the Wall.

[dforest]

Old bastige has to keep using this because otherwise he is a rotten failure and a goofy old backstabbing fool.

[minnesota_bound]

In back room somewhere in congress McConnell is saying “most consequential thing I’ve ever done was block Donald Trump”.

[acapesket]

Umm... Bitch? That is the ONLY thing you have done worthy of a minor notation.
