McConnell displays mastery of Senate with impeachment victory
By Alexander Bolton - 02/07/20 06:00 AM EST
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) scored a major victory for President Trump and his own reelection bid this week when the Senate rejected two articles of impeachment after a trial that lasted only two weeks.
McConnell’s deft handling of both the Senate rules and GOP moderates quickly freed Trump from the cloud of impeachment, despite a steady stream of new evidence and allegations about the extent of the president’s involvement in an effort to initiate a politically motivated investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.
From the start, McConnell’s goal was to keep the impeachment trial as short as possible and have a final up-or-down vote to acquit the president instead of a procedural vote early on to dismiss the articles, an approach favored by some Republicans.

For all the previous jokes about the turtle, Mitch has proven his worth both with his handling of the impeachment nonsense and with his shepherding of judicial nominations through the Senate.
For this, he deserves re-election, if he seeks it.
