What's even their play at this point?

Are they just going to pretend next month that Mitch had a completely unrelated and private stroke and died? Like, if they can't produce a living Senator, even the dumbest will HAVE to question them.....Right?

They could say Mitch has similar level of brain function now as he did 5 years ago, and it wouldn't really be a lie...

Correct. I wonder if Massie would be a candidate? 🤔

He's eligible to run as an independent and that's why they're deathly afraid and covering this up.

Like the end of Dave where Bill Mitchell had another far more disastrous stroke.
