History-making Senator Mitch McConnell tells Fancy Farm faithful he intends to run again in 2020

[TexasTowelie]

Already the longest-serving Republican leader ever in the U.S. Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell intends to cement his place in history with yet another term.

McConnell, 76, told GOP faithful in western Kentucky on Saturday that he will run for re-election in 2020.

“I don’t like starting late,” he said.

McConnell, the architect of a Republican resurgence in Kentucky that put the GOP in control of both U.S. Senate seats, all but one of the U.S. House seats, both chambers of the state Legislature and the governor’s office.

McConnell’s re-election announcement came as no surprise. He has said all along he intends to seek another term.

And he only needed to sell his soul to America's hostile enemy to do it. What a hero!

2. Did Mitch sell his soul or the sole of his shoe?

Mitch is such a penny-pincher that either could apply.

Thanks for fixing the title.

7. He must feel he's got to stay around to obstruct.

He's certainly made enough money as a senator to retire. He must feel that Dems will be in power and he needs to stay around to obstruct any investigations and be in on everything to cover his ass.
