I have been saying that since DAY 1 after the election. About time they admitted it.
Yep. I can hear the backroom talk, in retrospect:
McConnell: "Hey, Jeff, Trump seems to be getting traction. You mind winging in there and pretending to support him? He'll likely give you a decent appointment that you can use to sabotage him."
Sessions: "Wah, glad to he'p out our cause, Mitchy, old boy!"
