Hey, now! Moscow Mitch hates being called Moscow Mitch, so we probably shouldn't call him Moscow Mitch because the nickname Moscow Mitch might become popular again and that would upset Moscow Mitch on the day that Moscow Mitch announced that he's stepping down from Moscow Mitch's leadership role.
The only thing I'll miss is that gag they always do on SNL Weekend Update where they show a picture of him smiling and say something like: "Mitch McConnell, shown here watching an orphanage burn down..."
“I love the Senate,” he said. “It has been my life. There may be more distinguished members of this body throughout our history, but I doubt there are any with more admiration for it.”
The timing is curious, particularly with Republicans likely to regain the Senate majority in the next Congress. But he has been openly working with Schumer on things, and it probably drives Trump nuts. He probably figures that if Trump wins, he doesn't want to have to kiss up to him again.
“I still have enough gas in the tank to thoroughly disappoint my critics and I intend to do so with all the enthusiasm which they have become accustomed.”
Haha. He's a horrible guy with terrible policies but even he can be funny sometimes. Good to think about every once in a while. Apparently Trump is charismatic one-on-one too. There's a reason these people are successful politicians.
