Mitch McConnell's Virtues
Love Him Or Hate Him, the Man Studied and Mastered the US Senate
His distractors have been loud and persuasive, but Mitch McConnell will go down in history as a lynchpin of Trump’s success, and of the Republicans more generally in the Senate.
Love him or hate him, that’s just the truth.
Happy with Trump’s appointments ? Mitch McConnell is probably actually responsible for it, regardless of his particular vote on a particular nominee recently.
His success was not accidental, it was hard won the old-fashioned way.
He studied, as a younger man, how to master an institution, the US Senate.
That’s why we have some sanity in the US Supreme Court and courts of appeals, something that no other Republican president has enjoyed.
