McConnell has no reason to fear

You would think the reaction he is getting from some fellow party members and the majority of the country regarding the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act would make Mitch McConnell fear for his political life.

But he ain’t scared, oh heavens no. That’s because he knows that the same people who are complaining about his decisions won’t hurt him at all at the polls. Everybody is complaining about McConnell like they hate his guts, but he knows the lemmings of our state will vote for him anyway. I can’t take it. God help us. Why?
