In the absence of anything substantial in the way of information, a vacuum can be created, a void into which opinion and conjecture are inserted and assumptions made. The news—what there is of it—about Mitch McConnell is case in point.
There appears to be some medical issue unfolding for weeks now, and the public has been largely kept in the dark about it. Theories abound, the most prominent of which is that Republicans are strategizing and trying to avoid certain eventualities and timeframes so as not to jeopardize their current advantage in the Senate.
McConnell’s wife is not even in the country, the theory here being that she will be unavailable to sign a DNR order until August 3 or thereafter. So, apparently we are to assume that the Senator is on life support and will remain so until it is advantageous to remove him?
See? In the absence of solid info, theories will be floated, and conclusions will be drawn.
