I'm beginning to think Ronnie doesn't want the job. His latest idea - appoint RFK, Jr to oversee the FDA and CDC.

As for reaping what you sow, I think McConnell may be reaping what he's sowed. I'm not a doctor, but I had a father who had a massive stroke 12/22/98 from a head injury. He was functional for a long time. But . . . Anyone else see that clip of McConnell going blank while he was talking? That was Dad after his stroke. Not quite a TIA stroke. But he'd stop, go blank for a few seconds, and have zero recollection of what happened. As time went on, the episodes increased. Rs were freaking out about Fetterman. They should worry about McConnell - the man is ill even if they don't want to admit it.

I get the feeling that Mitch is not long for this world. He looks incredibly frail.

Depends on how he's treated. Dad was incredibly frail as well after the stroke, and he was an active man, never sick a day in his life type before the fall. Mitch is older than Dad was, in an incredibly high stress job. And the meds to mitigate strokes can cause (and did in Dad's case for the first few months) loopiness, weakness, mental disorientation, etc. He needs to resign, and if his family cared about him, they'd get him home away from stress. If Mitch stays on the job, at his age, he's heading for a full blown attack that he's not going to overcome.
