Mitch McConnell clearly has a political death wish — not just for his political life, but for the life of the Republican Party and for our Constitutional Republic. I just don’t understand it.
It’s easy, he sold his soul for money... They all did.
He's a uniparty hack. They all view Trump as an aberration, like Reagan. And like Reagan they think that once he's gone they can quietly reverse all of his accomplishments and the people will go back into their coma and let them line their pockets while they destroy our constitution. Hey, it worked once!
There is a difference though. Reagan fell into his illness after he left office and more or less disappeared from the public eye. He was not able to defend his record or accomplishments as Bush and his cronies tore them down. And even if he were, Reagan was disinclined to speak ill of other Republicans so he'd have been very reluctant to do so publicly. Trump is not going away and as his amazing accomplishments are reversed he will not be silent. Unless they drag him off in chains that is, which I'm sure will be the next part of their plan. That's when all hell will really break loose.
Mitch and his china doll are raking in millions. Micth welcomes being the minority leader. It takes no effort to repeatedly say, “We didn’t have enough votes this time but we live to fight another day.”
