Mitch McConnell is deathly afraid of something?

Does he fear for his physical well-being around Trump and is just too afraid to speak up and disagree with him??

What else is he afraid of ? Somebody should take the gavel out of his white knuckles. He is not capable of representing the Legislative Branch as a separate but equal branch of government. He should not be in a Leadership position.

He's a Nervous Nellie.

A veto override = same number to convict on impeachment.

He can not chance it. YET.

With great intention he held up Garland’s appointment and reporting on possible Russian influence threatening President Obama to make it a partisan issue. He has done nothing but lie and lower the already low integrity of Republicans.

He is not nervous, he is disgusting and all he does is with intention. He is a power hungry, greedy and evil SOB.

Why is he doing this?

He's 76.

He's a millionaire +.

Why does he care so much about his own reelection? He doesn't need the money. He's had power.

He has no real morals or values to stand for.

What is it?

Maybe he's afraid of being sent to jail?

I suspect he might have a Russian sugar daddy giving him campaign money?

He inspires absolutely no trust that he will do anything other than what serves his own self-interest. He's the shame of Kentucky.

knowing that they would eventually have to dump him.

If there is something making the turtle queasy, it is probably the Russian money and how tangled up he is in this mess.

The turtle, Graham, Grassley, and several others. The Russians are famous for wining and dining and offering lots of "escorts" of both sexes and all ages and recording it over the years.

They do it with ALL politicians who come there on every trip they make over the years and just save it for when they need it.

I also think Grassley and Graham and lots of them took dirty oligarch money and are terrified of getting caught.

I'm not saying she doesn't have the right to serve in the position, but that Mitch should have stepped aside when she decided to take the job. Now he's in the position of having to beg and scrape to Trump if his wife wants to remain in her position.
