Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) may have learned a painful lesson about straddling the political fence. After he strongly rebuked President Trump, accusing him of inciting the January 6 riot, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in turn, rebuked McConnell, accusing him of dereliction of duty, for not casting (non-decisive) vote to convict Trump on impeachment. McConnell should know that trying to please both sides does not work — it only makes enemies of both.
In politics, there is a legitimate role for compromise, but only if both sides engage in good faith. The Democrats have discovered, much to their delight, that they need not compromise. The Republicans will agreeably yield to Democrat demands.
The Democrats have a playbook that includes making false accusations and committing acts of intimidation — even street violence. They adhere to it rigorously. They are much like a cult; once you're in it, you may fear to leave it. Then, using their enforced unity, the Democrats overwhelm timid Republicans.
One of President Trump's great successes was that he engendered a degree of courage in the Republican Party that it had not seen since at least as far back as the Reagan presidency. He was able to get the Republicans to "grow a spine."
Now, however, with Trump removed from the White House by fraud, we are seeing the effects of the resulting leadership vacuum. Republican senators are once again wavering, waffling, seeking compromise, which leads only to surrender. They recently had it in their power to expose the election fraud, to prove it, and to defeat it. Instead, they thought they could return to business as normal and wait two years for the next election — an election that, according to the Democrat playbook, will never happen — unless it is as rigged as the 2020 election was.

Yes, Mitch is an idiot. He probably still doesn’t even grasp what he’s done to this country.
Nancy’s daughter said Nancy would cut your head off and you wouldn’t even know
He deserves much worse, I hope the demonrats flay him for the rest of his career. Let him have a good strong taste of demonrat gratitude.

Is this not ‘situation normal’ for the GOP?
Waffling = Concealment
He doesn’t care, he makes more under the table money when he’s in the monirity. These next 6 years are gonna be his final paydays!

Oh, he knows alright. Whatever he does is deliberate. He is a weasel.
It’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see. This is theater. China Mitch will be rewarded.
In fact, it would be only fitting if the demonrats do what the GOPe won’t or can’t do-bring him down before his term is finished. The one problem would be if that also gave them some kind of behind-the-scene power in the choice of his successor.
If you stand in the middle of the road you get hit by traffic going both ways!
Oh yeah, it’s definitely SNAFU.
I disagree with the premise of the article; there is absolutely nothing Cocaine Mitch can do or say that will damage our Glorious Leader.
He should be censored and removed as minority leader. They censored Liz Cheney for her vote to impeach. Yet, Mitch gets to smear the President on national TV, was a coward who didn’t vote yes to impeach in the Senate if he felt the way he talked.
He has now made his speech a Dem AD for elections in 2022 and 2024. Dems at least keep their dirty laundry to themselves vs. airing it on national TV.
I believe the democrats promised him certain things, but then reneged on those promises once their task of removing Trump as president was accomplished. For him to believe the Democrats would keep their promises shows he is just oblivious to who or what the Democrats really are.
Speaking of political hypocrites-when do we get to start re-naming everything named for KKK grand dragon or whatever he was-Robert Byrd, “conscience of the senate”?
Democrats are BALL-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!
I hope he and his wife are EXPOSED about their CHI COM connections!!
Mitch is not an idiot. Mitch is complicit.
His Chinese wife’s father founded shipping company “Foremost Groups” which has deep links to China
