You are right there. McConnell was extraordinarily capable. ![Mad :mad:](./images/smilies/mad.gif)

I’m surprised that his boss is letting him retire.

Just my arrogant opinion but I'm guessing his health is failing quickly.

If interested: thoughtful essay on McConnell from Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall. Excerpt:
Gift link: Mitch McConnell: Some Thoughts on Mastery, Destruction and Minority RuleJosh Marshall wrote:These days you often hear reporters and commentators saying matter of factly that legislation requires 60 votes in the Senate. This is truly McConnell’s greatest accomplishment. People say this like it’s in the Constitution, like the two-thirds requirement for conviction at impeachment or to approve a treaty. But it is a novel development and it has radically altered U.S. politics. It transforms the federal Senate into a genuinely Calhounian body in which minority factions exercise a de facto and permanent veto over the majority.
It’s what creates gridlock, the breeding ground of political disaffection and extremism.
It also lays the groundwork for McConnell’s other great accomplishment, the corrupted federal judiciary and especially the corrupt Supreme Court. By throwing a wrench into the engine of legislation you create a vacuum that is inevitably filled by an increasingly activist judiciary. They are the yin and yang of today’s federal government, a broken legislative branch whose vacuum is filled by a right-wing activist federal judiciary. Thus McConnell’s only affirmative goal as Senate leader: the confirmation of right wing judges, who in this system amounted to the appointment of a permanent Republicanized federal legislature
The irony of McConnnell’s rise and fall is that he is now ushered off the stage by the Trumpian politicos who he is not equal to but whose rise he made possible by breaking the legislative branch..

I think for sure health (and age) issues are part of if, but he sees what he helped create and doesn't want to be a part of it. He, of course, won't be personally affected by any of this insanity, so off he trots to his safe little house and safe little life, never to be affected by the crazy RWNJs or the court he created.
