Mitch is past caring for Republicans. Mitch is now worried about Mitch. He’s 76. If he runs in 2020 he will be around 78. One more term and he will be 84 or 85.

He just needs Kentucky now. Maybe one last term, maybe not…but he wants to go out loved in Kentucky. He has to return to his old Kentucky home again.

Got any polling on Kentucky for McConnell?

There’s this from Morning Consult:

The latest rankings - based on surveys of 416,853 registered voters across the country conducted Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, 2018 (see methodology here) - found McConnell’s net approval increased 10 percentage points since the third quarter of 2018, with 38 percent of Kentucky voters approving of his job performance and 47 percent disapproving. The fourth quarter marks McConnell’s best showing since the second quarter of 2017 as he prepares for an expected re-election campaign in 2020. (Net approval is the share of voters who approve of a senator minus the share of voters who disapprove. Approval and disapproval figures are rounded.)

38-47 approval was actually an improvement, apparently.
