Here’s another reason to #ditchMitch. Mitch McConnell gave an interview to leftist Time magazine. In the interview, McConnell told Time that he wants to emulate George Mitchell, a Democrat should become Senate Majority Leader next year. George Mitchell, the Maine Democrat who held the job from 1989 to 1995. You’d expect to hear this kind of bullshit from a Republican RINO in a blue state like a Mark Kirk or a Susan Collins, but Kentucky? If McConnell is ever elected Senate Majority Leader again, he will make John Weeper Boehner look like a strong conservative. Let this be a warning to you Republicans. If you take back the Senate thanks to us conservatives getting out the vote and re-elect McConnell as majority leader, you’ll see your power stripped in 2016. If you want to suck Democrat toes, then do it elsewhere.

If Mitch McConnell becomes Senate Majority Leader next year, he says his leadership style will most resemble that of George Mitchell, the Maine Democrat who held the job from 1989 to 1995. McConnell is not attracted to Mitchell’s policies, but he likes the Democrat’s style.

“He treated everyone with respect,” McConnell tells TIME in an interview. “The Senate needs to run in a more collegial and open way than [under] the current majority leader, who has prevented members from both parties from offering amendments and basically done a lot of damage to the institution, in my opinion.”Keeping that pledge may prove difficult. Not only do Republicans have to win six Senate seats to take control of the Senate, but McConnell is fending off the challenge of his career from Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is leading slightly in most polls. On top of that, even if Democrats lose the Senate in November—and with 10 seats in play they may just—they are confident they will win it back in 2016 where Republicans have 24 seats to defend, eight of them in states won by President Obama in 2012.
