Even Mitch McConnell's campaign manager doesn't like Mitch McConnell - The Week
Jesse Benton, McConnell's campaign head, held that same position under Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) during Paul's insurgent run to Congress in 2010. In a recorded phone conversation made by former Ron Paul aide Dennis Fusaro and obtained by Economic Policy Journal, Benton remarked offhandedly that he was only working for McConnell because he thought it would benefit his old boss down the road.
"Between you and me, I'm sorta holding my nose for two years, cause what we're doing here is gonna be a big benefit to Rand in '16," he said.
