He’s very slick and sly. Get the headlines speaking against Trump, but behind the scenes, delay and divert the attention of the DC political mob.
To survive in politics (soon literally) you have to be a shape-shifter. He’s America’s Tallyrand

Absolutely. McConnell is smart. If he was MAGA instead of Swamp, Trump could have accomplished great things.
OTOH, If McConnell was MAGA, he would never have been voted by Repub Senators as Majority Leader.
OTOH, If McConnell was MAGA, he would have been President himself a long time ago, and we would never have had President Trump.
McConnell = Wasted talent. Truly.
