I don’t know why McConnell get so much hate. Sure he is the very definition of a swamp creature, but he has run the Senate with an iron fist, which is MUCH harder than running the House given the power individual Senators have to obstruct, delay, and obfuscate. His use of Harry Reied’s ill advised nuclear option to fill judicial nominations alone elevates him to what may end up being the most influential Republicans of the 21st century. Maybe I will add a turtle to my garden.
He gets it because he can, when he wants to, run the Senate with an iron fist. But he only seems to deploy that for Court fights (at which he is very good, btw). But where was he on, for example, the Corker Capitulation on Iran?
