McConnell pledges to be 'Grim Reaper' for progressive policies

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday vowed to be the "Grim Reaper" for progressive policies if Republicans hold on to the Senate in 2020.

"If I'm still the majority leader in the Senate think of me as the Grim Reaper. None of that stuff is going to pass," McConnell said while speaking to community leaders in Owensboro, Ky.

McConnell noted that if Republicans win back the House or President Trump wins reelection "that takes care of it." But he pledged that even if Republicans lose the White House, he would use his position as majority leader to block progressive proposals like the Green New Deal.

"I guarantee you that if I'm the last man standing and I'm still the majority leader, it ain't happening. I can promise you," McConnell added.

1. I'd like to see a tally of the number of lives lost or adversely affected due to McConnell

I think it would be approximately 100% of the population of the US at the very least.

It's obvious by looking at him and by observing what he does that something is wrong with his wiring.

2. He sounds so old doesn't he? He needs to be kicked out of his rocker and off the Senate front porch.

been out of power 15 years ago, and they know it.
As it stands right now, McConnell will need to go to prison before he stops trying to destroy the nation for his own greed (and even then, I'd keep an eye on him).

He won't stop. We will have to MAKE HIM.

Has Sarah Sanders been notified that the Senate Majority Leader is threatening to decapitate things?! Will she speak out against this subversion of the will of the American people, since Democrats polled so many more votes last year than Republicans did?

hopeful one the Democrats that lose to Beshear in the Democratic primary for Governor can run against McConnell in 2020 and beat him.
