Mike Mansfield's 16-year record as a Senate leader.
McConnell paid tribute to Mansfield in his floor remarks commencing the new Congress.
This scholarly Montanan was not an exciting idealist who transformed our national discourse, nor a policy entrepreneur who brought to the leader’s role his own sweeping wish list of federal programs, Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, via Politico.
Mansfield made a huge impact through a different road: by viewing the role of leader as serving others, Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, via Politico.
He knew when to go to battle, and when to coordinate with his counterpart Everett Dirksen.
In short, he knew how to work the Senate, Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, via Politico.

John Cornyn said McConnell's achievement isn't surprising.
