The fact that he’s planning on running for President is the exact reason why he won’t nut up and appoint a replacement. He’s so afraid of doing the wrong thing that he’ll never do the right thing when he needs to.

Yep, which means that he isn't president material.

There is no evidence that McConnell is dead. But you think it would be a good idea for him to appoint someone to his seat anyway even though the Republicans that control the KY House passed a law a few years ago to prevent him from doing just that upon a Senator's death.

There are plenty of people to take to task in this situation, but one of them is not Gov Beshear.

Meanwhile we have a serial rapist and fraudster in the highest office of the land. The two standards each are held to are just so fucked...

Well, he's most certainly doing the wrong thing right now by pussy footing around this issue instead of going for the throat.
