Mitch McConnell has to be finished as the caucus leader for the Republicans in the Senate. Now. He has to resign, and if he won’t, then that caucus needs to get together and force him out.
Now. Not next week, not next month, not after this election cycle. Now.
McConnell gave a speech Monday demanding a “yes” vote on that atrocious border bill. By now you already know how utterly awful a bill it was.
