McConnell thinks he will be seen as God-like in the history books.

"McConnell has broken the Senate in order to break the Supreme Court, to install a justice who the entire mainstream legal establishment has rejected. He's doing it for the man who is sitting in the Oval Office thanks in large part to the interference of of Vladimir Putin, interference that McConnell covered up from the American people.

Trump isn't the real Russian asset unleashed to destroy the fabric of our nation. It's Mitch McConnell."

He will be seen as a traitor to American principles, since he couldn't do what he's doing without being a corrupt mother fucker.

Right now he doesn’t see it because he’s the right’s white male wet dream, but if the Dem’s meticulously deconstruct every move that got us here: I.e. out their dishonesty and corruption that got the right where it is today, especially how they colluded with Russia, and it will leave them defenseless. Basically, there will be no high moral ground for them to work from. So our next leaders have to cut them off at the knees. None of this lean forward crap. We will have to put the past in order before we can move ahead. One American history, one country.

The winners get to write the history. If all of this goes unchecked and the country as we know it is gone forever, he may indeed be looked upon in the new America as a founding father.

How fucking sick does that make you?

Get out the vote. This is our last chance.

He's making the latter more likely, certainly, but there is no scenario where there are history books which portray him as any kind of hero, demigod, or deity.

He is such a pathetic, useless little man. Just a self-serving partisan pawn who sold out his country for the sake of a lame, dying ideology. I cannot wait for karma to bite him in his flabby old white ass.

That could be a reality TV show! They can both live out the rest of their days in the cell.
