McConnell is absolutely not defending the US in Afghanistan. If he was doing that he would not be fully supporting the ongoing Deep State coup for four years now. It’s that simple.

Trump and the US are not synonymous. McConnell has his priorities. Trump has his. I like Trump, and hope he wins a second term, courtesy of the Supremes, if necessary. But life will not end if he doesn’t, just as it did not end when McCain lost, followed by Romney. I prefer Trump to Dubya, McCain and Romney. But we will have other elections.

In fact, even if he doesn’t win this round, the bloody shirt will be a big motivator for 2022. I see that being for Biden what 2018 was for Trump - a real bloodbath for his party.

And if Trump wants it, I see him as a shoo-in for the 2024 GOP nomination. This vaccine thing is genuinely impressive. I see it carrying him to a second term in four years if the ongoing legal maneuvers fail to bear fruit. It’s not even unprecedented. One other president has done it. Whether he would want to is a separate question.
