In a new interview, a delusional Mitch McConnell implied that Democrats are happy that he is going to be running the Senate.

Roll Call interviewed the incoming Senate Majority Leader,


“The worst experience any majority can have is that you convene and you look around and nothing’s ready to go. So what I said to the members who hoped they would be chairmen [was], ‘Let’s don’t have that problem. Be thinking now about legislation that you have, preferably that enjoys some Democratic support, because we certainly didn’t think we were going to have 60 and we don’t,'” the Kentucky Republican said.

McConnell pointed to conversations he’s had with Democrats, whose cooperation will be required to get the Senate functioning as he would like.

“Up to half the calls I got after the election were from Democratic senators. I’m not implying that they were happy I won, but they were awfully curious as to whether I really meant it early last year when I pointed out that we needed to run the Senate in a very different way,” he said. “I think there’s going to be bipartisan gratitude for having a chance to be relevant, to not be marginalized.”

Mitch McConnell said that he wasn’t implying that they were happy that he won, but he was implying that they were happy that he is going to be the Majority Leader, which is the same as being happy that he won.

McConnell is living on some distant planet where he can obstruct Democrats and their president for years and not expect there to be any payback. The nation has already seen what a coalition of liberal Senate Democrats and President Obama was able to do to the plan to cut taxes for corporations.

It is important to point out that Sen. McConnell is promising not to marginalize Democrats as long as they go along with his Koch fueled agenda. McConnell isn’t interesting in passing legislation that deals with the top Democratic priorities. He is hoping to pick off enough Democrats so that he can pass anything.

Mitch McConnell demonstrated that he was out of touch with reality during his reelection campaign. As Majority Leader, McConnell seems to be selling himself a fantasy. Democrats have a good chance of taking back the Senate in 2016, so the odds that they will work with McConnell are slim to none.

Democrats may show McConnell how they feel about him running the Senate by sending him back to the minority in two years. In other words, Democrats are the opposite of happy, and they are going to spend the next two years showing Mitch McConnell just how they feel.
