Mitch McConnell has said he is open to opposing any 'unelectable' candidates in 2022, even if they are strongly backed by Donald Trump, as he wrestles with how to handle a deeply-divided party following Trump's impeachment hearing.

McConnell voted on Saturday to acquit the former president, but then publicly attacked him, accusing him of a 'disgraceful dereliction of duty' in his most critical remarks ever uttered.

His tightrope walk between defending and demonizing the former president impressed few.

GOP Leadership is infested with Rats

They undermined Trump for four years.

I believe they want to snipe from the Minority and assist Biden when they can. Hard to explain McConnell opposing a $2,000 payment in the Eve in Georgia.

I’m disgusted and appalled by McConnell’s recent conduct, cynically playing into the liberal-left’s phony narrative. With that said, the jury is indeed out on whether a Lara Trump is a strong candidate to win in NC. A lot of voters, including me, don’t like dynasties. Lord knows we’re all sick of the Bushes, Clintons & Kennedys... not to mention the despicable Liz Cheney. Maybe Lara will be a great candidate in her own right, but she needs to prove herself.

He thinks he’s the man in charge. He’s wrong.

I think Kentuckians need to call Mitch back, and have him attached to state needs and get him out of the executive authority business of the Republican Party.

Gee, Mitch! And Trump gave your wife that job on his cabinet and this is how you repay him?

What are you hiding? CCP payoffs? Cover-ups involving your wife's family and their shipping business?

You think the best way to keep the monkey off your back is to stab Trump in his back?

Mitchy, you are pathetic.

He’s always done this. He never supported Tea Party nominees.

He’s 78. He needs to just disappear, along with Nazi and all the other 80-year-old-plus politicians in DC.

“electable” is not a euphemism for “democrat”
