"In [Sen. Moscow Mitch] McConnell's retelling of the debt ceiling tale, he "stepped up" to save the day because Democrats had refused to act on their own. In actuality, he simply got outplayed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Joe Biden.
"But overall, McConnell's stock is depreciating. Trump is breathing down his neck
at every turn. He's got an increasingly recalcitrant caucus. And the
fundraising muscle that he has flexed for years to buy the loyalty of
GOP lawmakers is being undercut by the sheer force of Trump's
endorsement within the GOP base." -- Kerry Eleveld, DailyKos, on the slipping stock of the most destructive Senator in history.
