McConnell said, "he would consider any effort to expose Russian" partisan politics!

Obama did in fact try to do something and that McConnell blocked him from doing that something—making a public statement that would be a "show of solidarity and bipartisan unity" in publicly condemning Russia for interference.

As The Washington Post reported it, McConnell refused to do it and said "he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics."

3. The next Democratic President should do what is right, regardless of what republicans think.

President Obama should have laid out the case of Russian interference to the public, regardless of what McConnell and Ryan said, the two republicans are traitors and their current behavior only confirms that.

4. Bless his black heart.

Such a fine American Patriot that one. He'd sell his mother for 43 cents. Hell, I think I saw a listing on eBay once for his soul, I was going to buy it as a morbid curiosity, but I was outbid by big_pharma01.

6. A colossal mistake

I believe, after McConnell’s threat, that Obama judged a partisan fight would injure Clinton’s chances. She was still leading in the polls right up to Election Day, although after Comey’s BS it was on a dangerously negative trajectory. In retrospect, it was a colossal mistake.

It’s also my opinion that McConnell knew what was coming, given his refusal to consider Obama’s SCOTUS pick, Merrick Garland. “Let the people decide”, he said, a year before the election. The people decided. They voted for Obama. Twice. I don’t think McConnell would have done that if he didn’t believe the fix was in and the Republican nominee would be placed in the White House.

We, as a constitutional republic, are in big trouble.
