Nothing at all new in this. McConnell and the rest of the GOP Establishment has been working at cross purposes against the American People from the very beginning.

“He, along with the MSM do not know Trump very well.”

McConnell obediently kneels before the Dems.

(Sorry, Mitch, the Dems will still hate you, and we GOPers just lost any iota of respect. You are the new Arlen Specter, and you've so earned losing what you've just lost.)
