Mitch McConnell today acknowledged for the first time that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the presidential and vice-presidential election this year. On the Senate floor, with what looked like a twinkle in his eye and what might pass for a smile, he sounded remarkably conciliatory.
Is he relieved, perhaps, at not having to deal with a narcissistic sociopath in the White House? Is he ecstatic at not having to clear up another fine mess the master deal maker, wall-builder and expert-at-winning, got him into? Will his apparent goodwill towards the incoming administration carry over into a smidgen less obstructionism that he orchestrated so admirably for Obama's last 6 years? And will the aforementioned unstable-nongenius stop tweeting nonsense, retire to Florida and stop tearing down the institutions that make this country great?
Who knows. But it's step in the right direction.
