I know something about Senate GOP leaders, having worked for a couple. Sen. Mitch McConnell is the finest GOP leader in my lifetime. He deserves praise and thanks.
Mitch McConnell has been a great leader. I remember when my boss, Jim Talent, needed to get things voted on, McConnell would always find a way to help. What Members loved about him is that he never took credit - he just helped his Senators succeed. There is a reason he won so many elections for leader. Today, the younger Senators are not trying to pass anything. So they don't care about the workings of the Senate. And that is very unfortunate.
