McConnell's top priority was deal-making. He thrives on the process.

That's why he doesn't include the House in his planning the way the Democrats do. McConnell's power comes from his sense of being indispensable as a negotiator. That's why he always gets rolled, too, because his sense of pride in the institution of the Senate is his blind spot.

I thought his top priority was his titles.

Who would think being taken to the cleaners by Nancy Pelosi would be an enjoyable process?
