#1 McConnell has realized that the nuke option Reid played means RINOs have no uses. Before they could rationalize they held the 'central' position to keep the Donks from pushing through their agenda. Now, no such position exits. See-Downfall rage fits.

#2 Some take-aways:

- Sasse is everything you want from a candidate, running in a relatively conservative state. So all the hogwash you hear about Tea Party candidates not being ready for prime time is just that - hogwash. It's about ideology. McConnell doesn't want any more conservatives in the Senate.

- McConnell is at war with conservatism and the Tea Party. Open war.

- McConnell does not believe his leadership would survive more conservative wins. Otherwise he would not be alienating potential future Senators. This puts him in a position to make common cause with Reid and the Democrats, which explains a lot.

#3 Mitch McConnell has more chin than balls. The only time he jumps to action is when he is negatively impacted. F Mitch.
