    Since the office of Senate Majority Leader was created a century ago, its occupant has typically been little known outside of Washington. Mitch McConnell changed that.https://n.pr/2zaPJsJ

        Until now, as Moscow Mitch holds what looks like absolute power over a spineless republican congress that holds Democrats and our democracy hostage, preventing any meaningful legislation for gun control and immigration rights.

        fake news. If you were paying attention, you knew who Harry Reid and Trent Lott were, at least.

        also, going further back, Bob Taft was a big freaking deal. And LBJ got the nod for Veep straight from the Majority Leader's office.

        Most were famous among people who paid attention to politics. You know...like today. Although, I’m not sure attacking the opposition’s leadership in political ads was done very often. Like...did the GOP constantly attack Sam Rayburn and Mike Mansfield?
