McConnell and his do-nothing minions in the establishment claim to worry that the Presidents current poll ratings, which sit in the low-to-mid 40s, mean that the Party needs to nominate a slate of candidates that are less loyal to Mr. Trump and more loyal to the DC Swamp. Mind you, this reasoning comes from a Senator Mr. McConnell whose own approval rating in his home state of Kentucky is below 20%, mainly because of his refusal to do what is necessary to enact the Trump agenda. Overall, the approval rating for Republicans in congress seldom gets into double digits in opinion polls, mainly for the very same reason.
So yeah, it makes perfect sense that GOP voters would want to nominate a bunch of establishment squishes who would follow Mitch McConnell around on a leash, expand the DC swamp they elected Trump to destroy, and help Mitch get nothing done for another six years. Seriously, do these people ever look at themselves in a mirror, even for a moment?
One can only wonder what Mr. McConnell and the Bill Kristols and Stephen Hayess and Karl Roves of the world will tell us after Roy Moore wins Decembers general election by about the same margin with which he just dispatched Big Luther? What will the talking points be then? I have no idea, but I do know that most GOP voters just wont care.
