Two words - Paul Ryan
***************
True but don’t overlook the fact that Ryan was chosen and allowed to stay in his job by his weak and feckless colleagues in the House. A similar thing could be said about McConnell.

No argument on that! It appears with the Turtle’s success with getting judges through that the Senate wasn’t as screwed up as the House. Look how many GOP Reps “retired” and didn’t run again (incl Eddie Munster)?
I think the Turtle “shows his tummy” to the alpha dog, which now is Trump. Also, I think Trump hiring the Turtle’s wife as a cabinet officer/hostage gives Trump leverage. “Well, McConnell, get my judges confirmed for the American people as it would be a shame if I had to fire your wife.”
