when you think mitch mcconnell is the end of an era? it really is. - when you think mitch mcconnell first came to this place in 1985, in the middle of ronald reagan's term. he outlasted the whole bush dynasties, preston clinton and tramp as well. you've got this whole gamut of political developments, and he has seen the republican party disappear from under his feet in so many ways. he came on when it was a free trade conservative internationalist, outward —looking party, and now it's definitely not that. in many ways, he is also falling out of favour with those controlling the party, including donald trump. that is pretty much sealed afterjanuary to six when he stood in one of the senates on the floor, and said he held donald trump morally and practically responsible for the right on capitol hill that day. he is 82, christian, he has had some health concerns. this is not entirely surprising, but the political realities are also against him and the factors, he faced the challenge last year, survived that, without however many nine or

claire, you worked opposite and in some cases alongside mitch mcconnell, talk to me about mitch mcconnell and the way he pulled the levers of power in his sort of laconic, low key way. >> well, he's a consummate lbj type leader. in other words, he knows how to count votes. he knows how to leverage members. he knows how to gain power. in fact, he would consider it a compliment that i would say that his career has been about leveraging power, whether it is decimaing campaign finance laws or changing every norm about the nomination of a supreme court justice, but make no mistake about this, andrea. this is a very strategic announcement because he is trying to gain the majority and trying to navigate the trump problem, and to do that, he needs to husband the forces within his caucus to keep a pro-trump extremist from becoming the leader if the republicans take the senate in november. so he is trying to accomplish two or three things at once with announcing it the way he has and when he has. >> and barbara mcquade, one other legal ramification that we should talk about is impeachment because r

mitch mcconnell. therefore, much of the republican base no longer likes mitch mcconnell. you have covered him for a long time. you know him really better than most reporters. and i want you to listen to what several of the rank and file republican senators said about mitch mcconnell yesterday. >> the instructions of my conference who were insisting we tackle this in october. >> things have changed over the last four months. and it's been made perfectly clear by the speaker that he wouldn't take it up even if we sent it to him. so i think that's probably why most of our members think we ought to have opposition tomorrow. >> that was obviously mitch mcconnell himself. but he makes the second point that i was going to make, carl. which is to hear mitch mcconnell saying i followed the instructions of my conference is something that i'm not used to hearing him say. he is a firm leader historically. now let's listen to what some of his rank and file members have said. >> everyone here supported a leadership

and i know that mitch mcconnell cares about that as well. it's why he fought donald trump on the filibuster. people forget, democrats especially forget that the fact that donald trump had both the house and the senate. and if we had gotten rid of that filibuster in 2017, and 2018, or 2017 and 18, we would've been in trouble. you would've seen these far- right bills, you would've seen things that happened at the border. that trump, the second term would have started in the first term. and it would've been frightening and scary. and mcconnell stood in the way of that. >> i know we are out of time, but that is noteworthy. to speak to a democrat that says pay attention, there is something to be grateful to mitch mcconnell for. the worst could be yet to come. >> yes, i'm not going to sleep well at night for having said that on public television. but it is absolutely the fact. but it is also, i think it's also a concerning of to where i see the republican party going. knowing how many times i have disagreed with mitch mcconnell, to see the directi
