"The turtle is showing, once again, that he has the spine of a jellyfish"

[Miles Archer]

Writing in the Daily Beast, columnist Eleanor Clift calls out Mitch McConnell for his weak leadership in the Trump era.

“McConnell isn’t popular at the best of times and, at what is shaping up as the worst of times for Republicans, the turtle is showing, once again, that he has the spine of a jellyfish,” she writes.

Given his low popularity in Kentucky (33 percent), Clift predicts that McConnell might pull “a Ryan” and leave office in 2021.

“That may depend on how McConnell handles this uprising of Republicans. He’s a man accustomed to being in control, and now he’s left his integrity, or what was left of it, as a sacrifice on the Trump altar, Clift writes.

5. Somehow, the lack of a spine hasn't stopped him from winning the last decade.

2 SCOTUS picks, one stolen, and an entire slate of Federalist Society judges installed for life.
