Im aKentuckian, I’ve despised him forever. Worst was 2006 he voted with Killer Teddy Kennedy for full amnesty. I wrote and called, I was livid. He or one of his flunkies wrote back telling me how wrong I was, we need illegal aliens to fund social security

McConnel wants Trump gone as much as the democrats...

He is as corrupt as Biden and Trump exposed the GOP as useless

Turtle had better study up real quick on systemic voter fraud in Georgia before he starts planning his next two years as Majority Leader.

You won so what do you care what happens to Trump?

And if the senate flips and he becomes minority leader, he's probably fine with that, too.
