  McConnell shoots down Trump's call to end the filibuster | TheHill (thehill.com)

  "That will not happen," the Senate leader said.
  
  "There is an overwhelming majority on a bipartisan basis not interested in changing the way the Senate operates on the legislative calendar" on legislation, McConnell said during a weekly press conference.
  
  Of course, that didn't stop him from using the "nuclear" option regarding the Supreme Court confirmation process.

  Mitch McConnell, the man who broke America - The Washington Post (washingtonpost.com)

  No one has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of U.S. government.
  
  "He has frequently shifted his views to suit the needs of the moment. But in this case McConnell was correct in 2013, and what he just did this week was even more ruinous than what he accused the Democrats of doing then."

  Less Than a Third Have Positive Image of McConnell, Schumer | Gallup (gallup.com)

  Twenty-seven percent of Americans view U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell favorably and 44% unfavorably, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer receives 31% favorable and 36% unfavorable ratings.
  
  These data, collected in an April 5-9 Gallup poll, come as Congress negotiates terms of a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. This will be one of the first major challenges for the duo; while McConnell has led Republicans in the chamber for a decade, Schumer became leader of the Democratic minority in January -- though he has been a U.S. senator from New York since 1999.
