I don’t like the man’s politics, and I think it’s terrible that he’s been allowed to hold office this long with his deteriorating health.

That said, I also find it so sad to see any person reaching a point where their cognitive abilities are this unpredictably impaired. Sudden freeze-ups and clear moments of detachment remind me too much of my father in-law and conversations I’ve had with him as his dementia develops.

I agree, aging is fucked up. My objection, not just about McConnell himself but elderly people in politics in general, is there's this cool thing called retirement. It's the perfect way to enjoy your older years. Perhaps he could have tried that before now.

I think that the issue is two fold here. He won't retire, and people keep voting for him.

Sure, people in KY like having a powerful member of the Senate be from their state and evidently he likes being a powerful member of the Senate.
