Ditch McConnell

Some people think Sen. Mitch McConnell is dumb because he does not seem to understand that his fellow Republican, Donald Trump, lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton.

Some people think McConnell is stupid because he had the audacity to write a Nov. 17 column and publicly expose himself by claiming that Trump, who lost the popular vote, has any kind of a mandate to do anything.

For a lot of reasons including dumb, stupid and embarrassing, here is something on which Republicans and Democrats should be able to come together and agree: Ditch Mitch.
