Imagine you’re Mitch McConnell’s staffers. Chronically plugged in to every pulse of the hill. It’s been 5 days since rumors of your boss’ health started to spiral Major papers are now asking where he is. Some pundits declare he is brain dead. And you decide… not to address it? You decide to put out no new statement. You decide Mitch, who you claim is hard at work and spoke last week to Thune, won’t tweet or write a press release. And when asked by the press for a statement, you give the same canned response from 3 days prior. Because that’s how you handle this totally normal and benign situation that’s totally not a problem…(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
