McConnell's hospitalization raises questions for GOP's future
Senate Republicans found themselves shaken and disoriented Thursday after finding out their leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) was in the hospital after tripping at a private event, raising questions about his health and future leadership of the GOP conference.
McConnell, who in January became the longest serving party leader in Senate history, has led the Senate GOP conference since 2005 and has helped guide his colleagues through some of the biggest moments in recent history — the 2008 financial collapse, the near default of the U.S. government in 2011, the fiscal cliff of 2012, the two impeachment trials of former President Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
McConnell fell after attending a private dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance and is being treated for a concussion.
The 81-year-old Kentucky senator’s sudden absence came only a day after he helped Republicans achieve a big political victory by stampeding Democrats into voting to block a District of Columbia crime bill. And it left some GOP senators feeling unsettled and worried about the future.

Probably will get some dickhead like Cancun Cruz or Ron John the clown when McConnell leaves.

I think it may actually bring about a serious internal 'war' among the Repukes - those that want to go back to being the 'conservative' guardians of the 'Constitution' (and corporate power) - and those that want to drive the 'tRump wagon' straight into hell.
Can't say it's gonna' be fun, but it certainly does promise to be interesting!
