Is Mitch a One-Trick Pony?

I have frequently referred to Donald Trump as a one-trick pony, because all he knows how to do is divide the country and mobilize his base. The 2020 election proved that there aren’t enough reactionary votes out there to win a national election, but he refuses to accept reality. Instead, he continues to try to fit the facts to his narrative.

In a similar vein, Mitch McConnell had success with his relentless obstruction campaign in 2009 and 2010, so will he try it again, under very different circumstances? Are we doomed to see debt ceiling crises and abortive legislative deals over and over again?

Based on the events of the last day or two, the answer is yes.
