Like him or not, McConnell's political acumen is respectable. An effective lawmaker who's impact will continue into the next generation, long after he's dead.
I saw McConnell as the last voice of any reason in the Republican party. I expect Johnson to go full MAGA without McConnell's leadership.
As ironic as it is for me to say, I wish he'd keep the position for a while longer, after the election.
But he was losing influence anyway.
In typical Republican fashion, they revolt against leadership without any idea of what to do after.
Republicans at large never have a plan, other than complaining constantly and never providing any solutions.
You can't whine, complain, or piss and moan your way into building anything meaningful and lasting for our country.
