Why can't someone sneak into the hospital to find out the truth about Tuttle Man, Mitch McConnell?

It would make the Republicans look really bad if he's dead and they're hiding it from the public.

1. I've been wondering the same thing

[LisaL]

3. Well, if he is dead, he wouldn't be in a hospital.

[Chasstev365]

4. Ok, but my point about what's going on is still vaild.

7. They could keep him on life support

Even if he's more brain dead than usual....

5. There are more important things to worry about.

But if you want to worry about it, his current condition results in one less R vote in the senate.

6. TMZ would probably find out

If there's ever a famous person that dies, they're the first to know. LOL.

McConnell is probably in a coma or something.

8. Probably because it's a crime...I dunno.

9. "It would make the Republicans look really bad "

HAHA, ever heard of the expression THE HORSE HAS ALREADY LEFT THE BARN?

[Chasstev365]

10. A new low might have been better phrasing, but there is no low for the GOP

[Skittles]

11. CORRECT

repukes always, ALWAYS find a way to go lower - GUARANTEED

[CozyMystery]

12. Because security will prevent that. nt

[LeftInTX]

13. I don't care

14. It's not in the party:s interest to do so

I think the most recent KY rule is it needs to be filled by a special election. I doubt they want to have a longer time than necessary to fill the seat. As there already are nominees for each party for the seat, I wonder if they can go straight to a special general election.

He very likely is alive and his family is dealing with his health issues. Out of respect for them, we should simply be saying we wish him well.

Note that his absence means one less Republican vote in the Senate. Filling the seat, either with Mcconnell if he recovers or another Republican should be important to them.
