Mitch McConnell's pathway to redemption
American Thinker ^ | November 15,2022 | By Denton Scratch

Posted on 11/15/2022 6:39:11 PM PST by Hojczyk

Mitch McConnell's behavior has been reprehensible. He refused to support GOP candidates who could have helped Republicans win control of the Senate. He is funding an internecine battle between GOP candidates in Alaska, favoring RINO Lisa Murkowski over conservative Kelly Tshibaka. The Turtle is the swampiest of the swamp creatures. He even has shadowy ties to Communist China.

But sometimes politics requires making deals with bad people. Sometimes politics, for all its sordid nature, can offer a path to redemption.

McConnell has a narrow pathway to go from zero to hero. He can once again thrust himself into position as GOP champion and help himself in the process.

First, he must immediately throw all of his support, all of his funding and all of his arm-twisting, favor-calling-in influence behind the Georgia runoff campaign of Herschel Walker. This would cut against McConnell's nature. Walker is a Trump protégé, and McConnell hates and works to undermine everything Trump stands for, which is why this act would be such an unexpected gesture and a credit in Mitch's favor.

Herschel Walker has a good chance to win. He has great name recognition. Most votes siphoned off by the Libertarian candidate should go to him. He faces a weak and tainted opponent.

However, a win in Georgia would get the GOP only back to a 50/50 tie in the Senate. With Kamala Harris as the president of the Senate voting to resolve ties in the Democrats' favor, a GOP victory in Georgia is big but still not big enough.

To earn full redemption, McConnell must facilitate a win in Georgia and then must complete a second labor of penance. He must flip Joe Manchin from Democrat to Republican. A win for Walker combined with turning Manchin will put the Senate under Republican control.

No redemption for Mitch. Never forgive, never forget.

This would be the only path to Redemption for him. If he does not do this, he should be fired, and thoroughly investigated.

He would go a very long way towards redeeming himself if he were to take a header from the top of the Washington Monument.

At least in my estimation.

That pathway is called stepping aside.

How can it be that out of approx 300 Dems not one is afflicted with this disease of protecting the other side and forwarding their agenda?

Mitch needs to be relegated to a back-bencher.

Mitch screwed up the 2020 GA senate election. Announced no more Covid bucks for the American taxpayers. Need that money for wars, illegals, and other important crap.

Comment withheld. No need to come out and gratuitously state the obvious.
