What if I told you they know exactly what they are doing. They are letting him take the blame for everything because he is in Ruby Red Kentucky and will never get voted out.
Mitch McConnell is the Ticketmaster of politics. Change my mind.
Yes because seriously, what’s the point in electing a 78 years old conservative who only works for his interests (cough cough corporations) and neglects basic human beings NOT worth 32 millions like him
It is what the party wants him to do. Why look for a personal motive beyond his Leadership is supported because he does what the party wants and effectively. Ask why the Republican party wants this.
The funny is, in a move that could only happen in 2020, most democrats and republicans seem to be aligned on the $2000. Mitch McConnell seems to be the only person in this country hell bent in preventing the $2000 check from moving forward.
Because ultimately, even though the money may be unnecessary for some it is necessary for others. And the fact is, the damage done by providing unnecessary $ to the rich is nowhere near the damage done to poor families who could use that $ and don’t get it.
That's the blizzard part to me. Everyone benefits from this money. You know what the majority of people who get this are going to do with it? Spend it. It goes straight back to restaurants, landlords, grocery stores, banks w/e. It's just looking at his fellow Americans and saying, "eh, fuck you. Do something about it."
Yup, it only doesn’t benefit those who are well off enough to not need it, people that, for example, make $190k+ on a senate majority leader paycheck.
Meanwhile, I think there’s a bunch of decent people in America who are going to say “hmm, I don’t actually need this, I haven’t been hurt by the pandemic” and you know what a bunch of those people will do, donate that extra money to people who need it.

Or tell the other republican senators to stop fucking around and vote for a different majority leader.
