Prayers for a rapid healing. Falls can be very painful, what is broken is not all that ends up hurting. Get well soon Mitch

Someone lose balance while giving him the ritual black eye and warning to get back with the program?

That’s it! If anyone tries to draft me for Senate Majority Leader, I’m definitely not doing it!

Bad injury for someone his age - I dislocated my shoulder and fractured the socket about 12 years ago and it was very painful.

That’s what he gets for buying Harry Reid’s old exercise equipment.

No, I don’t know that is what happened. But those guys sure do fall a lot.

Just get the staffers to keep pushing those judges through.

But seriously, at 77, being on pain meds for the shoulder might slow him down some, going into the budget fights this Fall.

I hope he is feeling better soon.

I know. Youngsters can fall and they practically bounce. The older you get the harder the fall. To make it worse, you can’t get back up.

I wish him a speedy and complete recovery.

We need him in Congress.
