MITCH THREAD 1/25/21 1 of 3 Hat Tip @Pimpernell13 Twitter

I want y’all to appreciate the genius of this move by McConnell, the craftiest sum a bitch in the senate.

They need 51 to vote, 67 to convict.

McConnell made sure only 3 GOP showed.

McConnell & the senator from Kansas, clearly against impeachment and Romney, for.

McConnell isn’t going to do anything to drag it out.

He’s denying them their preferred optics.

He's cut the # of speeches in 1/2 & I have no doubt he'll speak, powerfully.

2 of 3

He couldn’t stop it but by Republicans not even showing up and denying the dems their preferred optics...

McConnell has done everything in his power to de-legitimize the entire process.

He's made them look like a kangaroo court, because they are.

Even in the history books, in any photo, the chamber will be half empty. The refusal of the GOP to even waste their time showing up will have to be noted in any history book.

No Chief Justice. Half the senate absent.

It is brilliant.

He’s the Leader of the minority

He's made them look like asses.

And he’s holding them hostage tonight.

Note from Chad Pergram post: Schumer has the responsibility, but lacks the power.

McConnell: he has the power in a 50-50 Senate, but none of the responsibility. Without question, McConnell may emerge as the most powerful Minority Leader in Senate history.

Without question, McConnell may emerge as the most powerful Minority Leader in Senate history.

Don't remember where or when but I saw a report that said #CocaineMitch was actually a better leader when he had a 47-49 minority than the 52-53 majority he'd recently had.

Sundance on The Conservative Treehouse has been saying this. McConnell is better suited to being minority leader because he's has a broker's skill set, and brokering votes for power is essentially what a minority leader does.
