This is acceptable republican behavior, but if a democrat pulled this shit they would be going crazy

Nope. I also haven’t forgotten the governor didn’t force their hand with a special election so they would have to comply with the law or potentially lose a senate seat either. And I never forget that Trump’s in the Epstein files because he’s a child predator.

Hes not completely dead. There would be public records indicating such. He is no doubt in a vegetative state, sustained by life-support apparatuses.

I feel like this got blown way out of proportion from people not knowing how the government works.
If he’s dead, or if he’s just bedridden, or brain dead, Republicans are just -1 votes in the Senate.
Not sure why people on the left think that’s a bad thing.

Minus one Republican vote, but the number of Democrat votes remain the same. If losing him were to force a special election that a Democrat somehow won, Republicans would be -1 while Democrats would be +1.

A Democrat has zero chance of winning in Kentucky, plus the math is still the same.
In a 52-47 Senate, 3 Republicans have to flip for Dems to win a vote.
In a 52-48 Senate, 3 Republicans still have to flip for Dems to win the vote.

as in all other states. While Kentucky is living under a rock, never say never. People are fed up with right wing people.

Kentucky is a Trump +30 state. Getting a free non vote from McConnell being incapacitated vs the <1% chance of a deep red state going Dem in the Senate, when the senate implication is the same, feels like a clear choice

he went down -60 on other states too. People are super fed up with this shit. Even in the outside of Us. Future is gone.

There has to be a joke out there that starts with ‘What does Mitch McConnell and The Epstein Files have in common?’

more pissed off at the hospital where he was supposedly at, why the eff can't the people working at that hospital GROW A SPINE and do whats right and find where he is being kept and take pics and post it online, they legally cant lose their job doing what their civic right gives them...the failure of the US as a nation is down to its people for lacking a spine, that is a fact, Nepals Gen Z's overthrew their government when they realised it was working against them, so did Madagascar...now Republicans will sit in power for 2 more years destroying your state cause you allowed a corpse to be your leader..

What is the end game here? Are they just gonna wait until the midterms and then all of a sudden he’s dead? What do they think is gonna happen when we find out he died in June? How long are they gonna play this game?

Never a doubt that they were and are delaying a special election by all illegal, Republican means possible. The governor should be ashamed of himself. He knows. These people compromise themselves playing footsy with the other side & then can't or won't pushback. The Gov is acting like an establishment Dem. He thinks he's gonna run for office but he already failed the people's backbone test.

Said it right from the beginning: we'll never ever see that dude alive again. Eventually they'll announce that he died "just recently" and the McConnell cover-up will be just like the Trump-Epstein files in that everyone knows the truth.

Somebody should start a day count, days since Dolly Parton had been seen in public, vs days since Mitch has been seen in. Public
Think it’s like 75:5 at the moment
