re: #342 Targetpractice

Never attribute to malice what can just as easily be explained by stupidity. Mitch may just as well be holding to his rule because if he allows a vote, then that’s pretty much it for the next two years. While he’ll probably be able to continue forward ramming through judicial nominees, any legislation he proposes will be dead in the face of a unified Senate DNC caucus. He will be Majority Leader in name only, while the real power to make or break legislation will rest with Schumer.

That is certainly a wise aphorism. However, IMHO, it doesn’t apply to McConnell. He has shown methodical malevolence during Obama’s entire presidency. This is a continuation of the same. He receives major financing from the Russians and is as corrupt as they come. Perhaps his goal is to turn us into an official dictatorship with one party rule; but it certainly isn’t to preserve democracy or our Constitution.
