Mo Brooks probably would have won (although maybe his recent health issues would have forced him to drop out) and it’s McConnell who decided to try to knock Brooks out in the first round. ---

[This Bill Maher show is more than 5 years old](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kAVaIXosvw) but still funny to watch. Maher finds it odd that GOP cognition is best demonstrated by their 14 year-old spokesmen. By now they’re 19, I guess, and ready to serve as top party leaders. ---
