There are a bunch of FReepers who are actually going to be disappointed to hear this ... because they’ve been saying for months that McConnell has been conspiring behind the scenes to have Trump removed from office.
That’s true! I’ve seen lots of those...perhaps not as many as the pearl-clutchers and pessimistic trolls but they’ve been out there too.
I like Turtle. Name one other person you would trust in that spot at this point in time.
But when he thinks the votes are in reach, he is generally excellent at gathering and holding those votes. And he's ruthless when he thinks he can win.
Within the first year I believe there were many, even enough, GOP Senators, that did not like Trump and would have tried to remove him. But they finally saw where Trump’s supporters were and backed down.

you got it ... there’s a handful of trolls here that do nothing but attack the GOP Senate and individual GOP Senators, and NEVER, EVER say anything positive about ANY individual GOP Congressperson or anything positive about the GOP ... it’s clear that every last one of them are nothing but stealth trolls ...
Yeah, I know what you’re saying ... and it kind of depresses me.
My consistent comment has been: Yertle may not be everything we might want in an aggressive majority leader. But he’s the leader we’ve got and we could do a lot worse.
Totally agree with you. He’s a lot smarter than people give him credit for.

Well, they need to start chowing down on the crow because Friday is closeby.
Long live Cocaine Mitch!
I always got the idea McConnell was just trying to do his job. He seems to fair to President Trump and will protect him from unwarranted democrat mob attacks to the best of his ability.
If Trump were to be removed...McConnell would lose his job and so would a ton of other Rinos.
Yep heard them over and over
Oh, yes, indeed...just like McConnell had a grand scheme to derail the Kavanaugh nomination, blocked Obama’s nominee for SCOTUS in order to help Hillary appoint a liberal justice (as though that makes a bit of sense), has been “slow walking” judicial appointments even as multiple records continue to be broken, etc.
