Mitch McConnell Says He Would Back Trump in 2024 if He Wins GOP Nomination
MenRec ^ | 02/28/21 | Rusty

An unsmiling Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he would “absolutely” back former President Donald Trump in 2024 should he win the Republican party nomination.

McConnell made the surprising comments in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier who asked flat-out if he’d be willing to support Trump if he becomes the GOP nominee.

“The nominee of the party?,” the Kentucky Republican replied. “Absolutely.”

McConnell and Trump have been engaged in a very open and fiery clash ever since the events of January 6th, in which a small group of protesters involved in a rally for the former President stormed the Capitol.

Trump should have verbally castrated McConnell today. The fact that he didn’t gives me great pause.

Weasel words. The only reason he can say this is that he doesn’t think President Trump will be the nominee. You can bet he’ll do everything in his power to undermine the possibility of it happening. If and when it does, he’ll either give lip service to the fact, or simply find a reason to turn coat.

It’s closer to the truth to say he’d try to stab Trump in the back even if he wins the nomination in 2024.

I don’t want The Turtle backing President Trump. I want him in front, so he can be watched.

Strategic and Smart, President Trump Begins “Save America PAC”

The PAC will operate to push the MAGA agenda, and easily be a workaround for the RNC rules against funding primary opponents. Third party funding to take over the GOP!

Got your work cut out, there’s the 145 in the House that voted to retain Liz in leadership plus Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Blunt, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio.

More from the CTH article:

“For those who want a third party option, this approach is even smarter. Essentially, if people use the PAC instead of the RNC contribution President Trump will control the cash. This positions President Trump to determine which political candidates will be endorsed, supported and ultimately funded…. including primary challengers.”

There is no great affection among Republican voters for the 145 Rinos in the House. Between the Rep voters “love” for Trump and him “controlling the cash” I think he has a pretty good chance of influencing the 2022 primaries. The difficulty previously in affecting primary conservative victories was Mitch controlled the money.

My guess is Mitch is having a very bad night...:-)

McConnell’s trashing of Trump backfired.
