 Republicans flee from McConnell in 2018 primaries

While GOP candidates distance themselves from the Senate leader, Democrats hope to turn him into the next Nancy Pelosi.

Nobody wants to be on Team McConnell.

Heading into the 2018 elections, only one Republican Senate candidate nationwide has pledged unequivocally to back Mitch McConnell as majority leader. Most Republicans facing competitive primaries are hemming and hawing, admiring McConnell’s political savvy and fundraising apparatus — but also looking warily at his sinking approval ratings both with Republicans and the broader electorate.

Even in some of the red and purple states represented by Democratic senators where McConnell is hoping to pad his majority — places like Missouri, Michigan and Wisconsin — the leading candidates are dodging questions about McConnell's leadership or threatening to oppose him if the GOP Congress doesn't deliver on the party's legislative priorities in the coming months.

Too bad the locals and the Yellow Dogs refused to flee from him during the 2014 primary.

We'd be in a far different place today.

Off-de-wall prediction:

If the coming fight by McConnell to expel Roy Moore from the Senate goes badly for Mitch, the next Senate Majority Leader might be.... hehe... Mr. Moore!
