First, unconscious can happen from a lot of things besides cardiac arrest.
Second, no oxygen mask means nothing,, if his O2 level was good on scene, he wouldn't have needed O2 or might have had a simple cannula, something a neighborwas too far away to spot, unless that neighbor was a medical professional.
Third, EMTs hustle into a scene, but if they've got a stable patient, conscious or not, they don't operate at a run. In fact, I've only seen them really hustle at an accident scene when someone was bleeding out and they needed to get him/her into the rig where their emergency equipment was.
Fourth, the antichrist takes care of his own, so I don't think that old buzzard will ever die.

B: Mitch was DOA, and his death is not being revealed, for political purposes.

(114,800 posts)because his face was uncovered.
I'm betting he wasn't dead, just maybe dead drunk and they were able to arouse him.
`This isn't to say he's not in diabolical physical condition. I'm just not buying the conspiracy.

And if there's no special election held in the interim, that means one fewer Republican vote for the next 6 months. Win-win for the Democrats during that time period.

(78,419 posts)The EMS showed up @ 8:30 and they didnt take him out on stretcher into the
ambulance until 9:00 and his face was covered but his feet were sticking out
from under the sheet. Maybe they got a pulse out of him and with his wife in
China there is nobody who can have the plug to be pulled.

I heard reports that he was revived a 2nd time @ the hospital. But I can't be sure if all the reports are accurate. Although I can
find joy in his passing. He really hurt America. He blocked money for clean elections ... he knew that cheating is something that the GOP has to do
wnylib
(26,998 posts)I feel cheated out of celebrating his passing.
But I do question conflicting reports about whether his face was covered when he was removed from his home.

(240 posts)That is to say, the people around McConnell and perhaps Thune didn't really know Kentucky law, and how a replacement would take place.
SOo o o o what they did is clamp down an information blackout.
For them it's better to have the public guessing he's still alive, than having the public know a truth confirmed by Docs in a hospital press conference.
This sort of thing shouldnt be a surprise. Vance told us in his mind it was not only ok, but it was good to lie if it's the only way you can get a message that helps you into the media
malaise
(300,050 posts)The process was changed by MM and his ReTHUGs in anticipation of this moment.
This is about the special election and dates.
It is chicanery on steroids.

(457 posts)But from what I have heard, McConnell has had exactly three phone call since entering the hospital. All were Sunday morning. He improved enough to be able to spend an hour on the phone but hasn't called anyone since? None of the people he called discussed his condition or when he might go home. Why haven't any of his colleagues visited him? His wife or daughter could put our photos or videos at any point if he is doing better.
