  1. What a joke! His mind has lost it's function, collecting a check for NOTHING. You get what you pay for.

  2. Is anyone really surprised about everything. I'm not unfortunately. I forgave God claims vengeance.

  3. It looks like he's wearing the death mask…this is insane.

  4. Need to create term limits and stop long term relationships w Big oil, Lobbists. Long limits allow temtation and growth of corruption. Please create bill to stop corruption.

  5. She looks stupid, trying to pretend he didn't hear the question…Lady, we are not stupid. That man is not well.

  6. It's time to give way to the young, the whole world is laughing at the American house of the elderly

  7. He should have called GOP leaders to signal his geezerly resignation!

  8. That's what happens when the government is led by elderly white guys.

  9. That’s absurd! If you’re senile, republican or democrat, you need to go!. We really need term limits and age limits period the end..

  10. Mcconell should give up his senate seat for the interest of the welfare of the people. All government positions should be held by person who has good mental health.

  11. Best comment I've seen
    I hope he gets the care he's been fighting all his life to prevent others from getting.

  12. McConnell is done political

  13. Breaking news: he’s old.

  14. I’m a nurse this man is being forced in the camera for sure. He is old leave him be

  15. Trump could save America right now if he just pleaded guilty and drop out of the race! He could even be the hero he wants to be by being a real man and admit to his actions! He has no idea what all they have on him! How stupid he will look trying to defend himself and his actions when the evidence tells otherwise. It might buy him less time behind bars by FINALLY doing the right thing!!

  16. This is totally unacceptable…McConnell should be forced to retire

  17. That’s it. Get him outta here. He to sick to be running for something and he keep having these episodes

  18. McConnell, Pelosi. Feinstein. Biden, all clearly past their usefulness in service to this country, or disservice depending on who you ask.

  19. All of these derelict have to have not just speech writers, but also physical handlers to keep them walking a straight line.

    Would you continue to employ someone who needs the kind of help found in memory care facilities?

  20. Eisenhower. WW2 general, also president, after serving as commander in chief, when it was time to leave, he warned us all of the military industrial complex, got in his car, and drove to his real home.

    How long can these people continue to fool the voters while they feed at the trough.
