Opinion | Give me one good reason I shouldn't believe Mitch McConnell

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : I believed McConnell when he said in 2019 that background checks would be "front and center" in Senate talks on gun legislation, when he said in 2016 that he would put renewable energy tax credits in an aviation bill, when he reached an agreement with his Democratic counterpart on nominees to the Federal Communications Commission, and when he repeatedly vowed to open up the Senate amendment process.
54% : I believed McConnell in 2009, when he threw his backing behind a proposal for a bipartisan debt commission to get federal spending under control, calling it "our best hope" and urging the Obama administration to get on board -- before using a filibuster to block the proposal after the Obama administration supported it.
