The left despises McConnell because he's the only Hill GOP leader in decades who is as ruthless they are. Most Republican Hill leaders are pushovers who want to be loved by DC elite opinion. I've worked in the Senate - McConnell is calm, rational, & singularly-focused (1/2)

I wrote on this is January. Whether its econ, health care, judges, or ignoring House-passed bills, McConnell operates the GOP Senate virtually identically to how Reid ran the Dem Senate - and how Schumer plans to as well. And it drives them crazy. (2/2) https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/01/27/senate-republicans-are-not-obstructionist/

By the way, this is the typical McConnell hit piece. The hysterical headline & tone because McConnell: 1) confirms conservative judges, 2) doesn't pass enough liberal bills, 3) read a lot about Kentucky politics before entering politics. The horror. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1308048866990854144
