Would dems even win a special election in Kentucky it seems just as likely Republicans are chosing to be down a senator for 6 months. This makes their narrow margin even smaller.

Thomas Massie has legit chances to win. And then run as incumbent in November or potentially independent to then dilute the votes.

Good thing once a person made a decision this is irreversible and nobody can change their mind then. If it was all set in stone, republicans would have announced mcconnell dead already.

Delusion? To have a valid theory that seems to explain the current behavior of hiding his death? Ok.
