The Republican leader told POLITICO that his critics "had their shot" already. But conservatives are not done whacking him over the immigration-for-Ukraine aid implosion.

    I hate Mitch McConnell with the intensity of 10,000 suns. But I give the devil his due; he knows how to manipulate Senate rules to get what he wants. I think the GOP could be about to slaughter the golden turtle.

    They have no one else who can do what he does.

      I was in a civil debate with a light-Trumper about why he thought the election was rigged. I asked him one simple question that honestly made him reconsider his stance: “Informed Democrats know that McConnell has done more damage to this country than Trump ever could, so if the Democrats really went out of their way to rig the elections in multiple key states to keep Trump out, why not finish the job in just one state to stop maybe their most powerful enemy in Mitch McConnell from staying in power?”

        Or ask him, if the Democrats rigged the election so Trump would lose, why didn’t they also rig a few of the other races in the same ballots so all those targeted Republicans would lose. This would have given the Democrats control of the house and Senate.
