but my guess is a stroke. I am basing that on his.previous moments of freezing up as if in a mental blackout. Plus his hands also had noticeable bruising.like Trump's hands do now. I am not a medical professional, but in my layperson's perspective, it looked like some sort of vascular issue. Stroke or heart condition.

For all we know, he.might.be comatose on a heart monitor. Or he.might be immobile from a massive stroke.

We don't know and those who do know aren't saying anything.

Don't his constituents have a right to know what's happening with their senator?

But since when have Rs recognized people's, rights?

Maybe they don't want the public to know because if he is too incapacitated to ever return to the Senate, he would need to be replaced. That would leave the Senate with one less Senator untill his replacement was chosen. But I can't see why that would matter. If he is incapacitated, he can't vote on anything. I think that Kentucky has a law requiring that a Republican be appointed to replace a Republican who dies or leaves office for health reasons, so nothing would change on the R vote count.

Given how Rs operate, McConnell could be dead or comatose and his staff might cast a vote on his behalf, claiming that he personally made the vote.

I don't think he's doing well, or someone would say he was improving.

Just my take on it.

I wouldn't put it past them for one second, as sneaky and underhanded as they all are.

had he not done so much harm to this country.

I have read that he had polio as a child. In fact, he was the sole republican vote against RFK, Jr. during confirmation hearings because he knows the effects polio had on him. One thing that some don't know, but you can research, is that polio isn't just something you survive once (if you survive); it can have life-long health effects. My grandmother had it as a child, survived, and then had difficulties with her heart later in life that her physicians attributed to that bout with polio. And it was not breast cancer that resulted in her death in her 70s, it was the heart issue.
