McConnell no leader

Sen. Mitch McConnell’s record as Majority Leader of the United States Senate has been an abysmal failure. He’s accomplished nothing to stop President Obama, didn’t even try. Our nation will soon have a Republican President and sadly he did nothing, didn’t lift a finger, to help Donald Trump to get elected. He seemed content with a Hillary Clinton presidency. What kind of “leadership” is that?

In light of these failures, why should the people of our nation trust him to implement the changes articulated by President-elect Trump. If he has any political class or courage, he would tender his resignation as majority leader.
