"By rights Mitch McConnell's tombstone should read that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I'd add a second line: He broke America. No man has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the US government. He has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in service of short-term power." -- Dana Milbank
