Today, Jim Carroll of the Courier-Journal exposes how phony Mitch's claim is:
A USA Today/Gallup Poll published today found that 52 percent of those surveyed came up blank when asked to name "the main person" who speaks for Republicans today.
...We examined all 1,015 responses in the poll. Seven people either mentioned McConnell by name or by his position. One person responded: "Mitch McConnell or Dick Cheney," so we counted that. Yet another said: "Mitch McConnell of Texas." Texas?! We counted that one anyway.
Seven out of 1,015 answers comes out to, rounded upwards, .007 percent.
Wow, Mitch. That sure is a lot of "clout."
