Why Is Mitch McConnell Allowed to Remain Senate Minority Leader?

By Rich Kozlovich 

One thing clear, Mitch isn't going to resign from anything.  If he had an ounce of integrity he'd at least step down as the Republican leader in the Senate.  If he was a man of honor, he'd just resign and go and finish his life at home surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren.  His self serving character is now clear to the most casual observer.  He fails in both categories, honor and integrity. 

But the real story is about the honor and integrity of the Senate Republicans.  They've publicly accepted the incredible claim by McConnell's doctor he's just fine and dandy and ready to go back to work, and one Senator actually claims he's just as sharp and shrewd as ever.  Of course someone may have to  recognize when he's having a seizure and just wake him up.  Yep, sharp and shrewd. 

Then there are those who don't accept such nonsense such as Sen. Josh Hawley "who said McConnell should “absolutely” not remain the GOP minority leader in the Senate following his freezing episodes."  

McConnell's critics believe, and I think rightly so, he cost the Republicans the Senate in the last election, and if allowed to remain as minority leader may well do it again in 2024.  This was the first time he received no votes as Republican leader. 

During his years of "leadership the national debt rose nearly $20 trillion, illegal immigration surged, and real wages for American workers have not grown. Obamacare was enacted in 2010. Congress bailed out big banks in 2008, and social media companies silenced individuals without repercussions."  Yep, apparently he's always been really sharp and shrewd!

So, it's my understanding the Leaders of their parties serve at the pleasure of the party members, and can be voted out of those positions.  If that's so, and as far as I've been able to determine it is, with a lot of politicking involved, will the Republicans in the Senate do it?  No!  There are a bunch of McConnell clones sitting in the Republican caucus, and it just won't happen.  

Regarding the honor and integrity of Senate Republicans?  They're sorely lacking in both.
