President Donald Trump derided Mitch McConnell , R- Ky. , as "not equipped mentally" after he refused to vote in favor of his controversial Health and Human Services pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "He's a, you know, very bitter guy," Trump said of McConnell .

In three pivotal Senate votes on Trump 's most vulnerable Cabinet nominees in the last few weeks , McConnell bucked his party.

McConnell was the only Republican to vote against the similarly controversial Director of National Intelligence (DNI ) nominee Tulsi Gabbard .

GOP strategist John Feehery : "Not being in leadership can be quite liberating" GOP can't oppose the picks themselves "for fear of retribution by Trump or primary voters that will make a difference on whether or not they remain in power" Professor: McConnell wants to make a symbolic statement in favor of an older Reagan -era conservatism.
