The Wives Hear Everything And it is Not Always Pleasant What They Find Out
There is nothing as sad as when an old soul stays around too long and is trapped by their own bad judgment in a job or profession that they can no longer perform to a high standard. Eighty-four-year-old former Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had been inching toward that dubious distinction for a while now, and it all came crashing down on June 14th, of this year, after he allegedly collapsed in his own Washington DC home, was subsequently discovered by unknown persons, and quickly whisked away to a local hospital in a supposedly unconscious state.
A public plea, a full 24 days later, by Democratic Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky about the Senator’s condition has elicited only a generic “continues his recovery in a hospital” boilerplate obfuscation that contained little information of value.
And that’s it.
Since that point, there has been virtual radio silence.
Not only is the news blackout strange but it reeks of skullduggery, because if the ex-Majority Leader is deceased or permanently incapacitated as in - a vegetative state - that means a special election can be held to select a replacement. A process that would be controlled by Governor Beshear. - A democrat.
However, if the news of McConnell’s gravely ill or deceased state is not released until after August 3rd, then that’s too late for an election before the November midterms.
The second is a much better situation for the Republican Party in Kentucky, and a less than favorable outcome for Democrats who want to seize control of the Senate.
