The Counter-Factual Question re: McConnell

 As Bonchie makes clear (again), Mitch McConnell is not only dumb, but also a danger to the Republic.  Dumb as in "Manchin totes played him" and a danger as in he's a Uniparty Deep-State enabler.

Of course, the Uniparty Deep-State population in D.C. (nearly everyone there) has a response:  "Muh Supremes!!  Muh Supremes!!!"  "He repaired SCOTUS!!  We can't dump him!!!"

(That happens to be the same objection raised whenever dumping Vos comes up here in Wisconsin--except here it's "Muh majority!!!"  "Robin engineered the majority!!"  "We can't dump him!!"

Those are counter-factuals, like "What if the South won the Civil War?"

Frankly, no one knows whether McConnell (or Vos) is all that much better than Person X would be at the same task.  You have no idea because it's a 'counter-factual.'  

But it's about damned time that we find out in BOTH cases.  

McConnell's epitaph could well be "He saved SCOTUS but lost the country!!"

Ain't that wonderful?
