Everyone should remember that in the middle of the Great Recession, Mitch McConnell said that his job was to make sure than Obama was a one-term president. (1/2)
That's right, McConnell explicitly said that he did not see hos job as getting the U.S. out of the Great Recession and workers back on their feet as quickly as possible, he saw his job as making Obama look bad so that he wouldn't be re-elected.
So we can believe that Mitch McConnell somehow had a late life conversion and is now concerned about the good of the country or we can believe that he is still pursuing his political agenda and couldn't care less about what is good for the country.
btw, this is not symmetric. I have had plenty of bad things to say about the Democratic leadership, but there was never any doubt that they would support a large rescue package to save the country & the economy, rather than just making people suffer so that they could blame Trump
