Just getting back to why for years fellow Repub politicians follow most of his commands or more appropriately demands. Well was easy to find that nobody gets more $$$ from the ULTRA RICH than McConnell. Always thought he was kind of slimy and hasn't done as much good for KY as one would believe. Cruz is in a closer than expected TX senate race. He said McConnell hasn't given him one penny.

Mitch it seems holds a gun to fellow Repubs heads to vote as he wishes. Or no campaign money to assist getting elected. That said I know he has always been on desiring smaller government which I favor. Old enough guy might die in office. We know dislikes TRUMP at all, probably hopes he loses. Won't ruin his legacy if he loses.

Way long article but chart below if I read it right shows why Pelosi had and Schumer had their positions. Looks like Sanders the only one not bowing down catering to the ULTRA RICH and getting it from small size donations.

The Long Goodbye? Mitch McConnell and Big Money Politics

In a political system whose primary currency is not the vote but the dollar, McConnell’s role as leader has plainly been well-earned.

Excerpt from article about Mitch ....
The fundamental reality can be summarized very simply: His political base rested uniquely on a gigantic, never-ending flow of money from big donors. The size profile of his donations is stunningly one-dimensional. No Trump-like barbell of big and small donors or, a fortiori, Bernie Sanders’ or AOC’s mountains of small contributions: Just endless flows of mega-bucks from the heaviest of heavy hitters.
