When the netherworld reclaims McConnell doesn't the Democratic Governor get to appoint his replaceme

[MLAA]

Just trying to come up with happy thoughts to get myself through the next 11 days. Based on recent pictures Mitch should probably pack his bags for the trip.

1. He may not be circling the drain yet, but...

... he's definitely climbed into the sink.

[CincyDem]

5. As was said in a tweet somewhere - imagine the 24/7 media coverage if Nancy's hands were blue. n/t

[MLAA]

9. OMG my first thought was somebody turn on the garbage disposal 😬

[RockRaven]

2. I don't know the rules in KY but some states require the replacement to be of the same party,

and some do not.

3. KY is one of 37 states that uses gubernatorial appointment

[CincyDem]

4. you betcha.

It always surprises me that KY is so rabidly republican when it comes to Senate seats but they're more than willing to have a Democratic governor. It's almost like they want the benefits of dem leadership at home but they want to inflict republicans on the country.

8. Excellent assessment!

[dchill]

6. Yes. Beshear appoints the interim senator.

[MLAA]

13. Crossing my fingers 🙂

7. McConnell isn't going anywhere.

5-10 years left. Only Trump gets better medical care.

[Bayard]

10. McConnell is sustained by hate and greed

Same level of empathy as trump. The rot in his hand is the manifestation of what's inside.

[MLAA]

11. Excellent diagnosis!

[Sherman A1]

12. Agreed

[TheBlackAdder]

14. That would be some Next Level RBG Karma. One senate swap, no Senate Majority Leader. ACB delay.

[rlegro]

15. If McConnell suddenly were to die....

...it would be the all-time case of instant karma.
