LOUISVILLE There were only two things Mitch McConnell didn't want to talk about Thursday whether he will run for re-election in 2020 and his eventual legacy.
In his first one-on-one interview since his landslide re-election to a sixth term and his expected ascendance to U.S. Senate majority leader, McConnell talked at length with the Herald-Leader about how he wants to use his new role to help Kentucky, a possible run for president by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul and the conventional wisdom that McConnell is unpopular.
McConnell, relaxed and in a great mood in his Louisville home, wouldn't say whether he will try for a seventh term in 2020, and he cut short any discussion of what his legacy might be.
"I don't want to start writing a legacy now," said McConnell, who is 72. "I'm looking to the next six years. When you've been in office as long as I have, everybody wants you to look back. I'm looking forward, and I've been given some fairly significant responsibility in Washington, and I'm going to try to exercise that in the most responsible way I can and try to make some changes for the country. So I'd rather not muse about the past."(continued)

Oh thats easy. You seem to like RINOs. The rest follows.
“Why dont you just shut up Mitch and do your job?? If you even begin to do a good job it will be a shock out here.”
Mitch’s job is taking care of cronies, lobbyists, globalists, and war profiteers, and not ever America. He, Priebus, and Boehner are strategizing on how to “give more amnesty” and out flank the Dems, and bring in more Mexicans etc.
A projected construction so ignorant that I won't bother to elaborate.
You give yourself up with the use of the term "projected construction." You don't need to elaborate, because you cannot. I was in academia a long time ago (2 PhDs). My nose is pretty discerning when it comes to academic (or pseudo-intellectual) bullshit.
You sound like an idiot, and dis-serve the cause of less government conservatism. The rest is ad hominem BS.
You waste my time and the time of people who think.
Go back to your union job.
You sound offended. Good.
McConnell is a dirtbag. Conservatives need to support Cruz in every way. McConnell is old and won’t have the vigor to stand up to a challenge. Time to boot McConnell’s ass out of any leadership role.
Do you have any idea how utterly STUPID (yes, stupid, not ignorant) you look typing this drivel to GeronL?
I didn't think so.......
ether?
You just flunked the FR 'grammar police' test.
FAIL!
You're a flipping GOPe troll. I have known this for a long time.
Umpfh....
Ron Paul, is that you?
Fixed it.
That’s a good reason to dump zmcConnell as majority leader Rand Paul is the anti-republican, working from within the Republican a party, the way the DSA worked from within the democrat a party to take it over.
Is ther any talk of anyone opposing him?
I’ve just heard these kind of rumblings like this thread. People say that Cruz would be a good choice, and I do support that. We need someone who is NOT timid and who wants what conservatives want. It will take a stubborn man or woman to oppose this goon occupying our white house!
How about Jeff Sessions?
I like what I read but need to study him more...what kind of decisions he’s made. I really like Trey Gowdy or Louie Gohmert, too. They have killer instincts. Which could be an asset right now. :)
I saw Sessions o TV, talking about amnesty. He signed Cruz’ letter to Harry Reid.
Well, if he’s against amnesty, then I like him! We don’t need no steenkin’ amnesty!
