Former Republican strategist Tara Setmayer was stunned by new reporting that former President Donald Trump's allies are pushing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for an endorsement of the former president, and that Trump expects McConnell will cave soon.
This is in spite of the fact that the two of them have had an icy relationship since the Jan. 6 attack, with McConnell publicly condemning Trump's actions, and the former president repeatedly attacking McConnell and suggesting he would be forced out under Trump's second presidency.
"I have to go back to the Mitch McConnell thing for a second," Setmayer told MSNBC host Michael Steele, himself a former Republican Party chair. "The fact ... that Mitch McConnell would even be considering endorsing Donald Trump after everything that Trump has done to him as well, I mean, calling his wife all kinds of ethnic slurs, calling him a piece of crap, according to Maggie Haberman's book, making fun of him and his age. saying all of these disparaging things about him."
Beyond that, Setmayer added, "Mitch McConnell can't stand Donald Trump. He knows that he is someone who isn't a serious person. But he's willing to do this, which is like if McConnell comes out and endorses Trump, what that does is once again, it opens up the others in the Senate and other donors to say that Donald Trump is someone we can still support, despite everything he's done."

Kamala Harris called Biden a racist for palling around with segregationists in the 70's and 80's. She's now his vice-president.
The author has apparently never heard the phrase "politics makes strange bedfellows."
Nevertheless, I'm enjoying these stories of Republicans like McConnell being dragged kicking and screaming to support the Republican nominee. They were all SOOO smug and "principled" in early 2021.
Excellent! The establishment GOP (eGOP) needs to go away, the traitors!
Good Lord, the disgraced RINOs are getting desperate.
You wouldn’t expect a “former republican” Karen to be worried about the GOP being “dead and buried”.
Mitch is first and foremost a politician. He will endorse Trump.
RINO’S are on the run, and in a herd. Not a bad thing.
Trump “isn’t a serious person”?
, “Mitch McConnell can’t stand Donald Trump. He knows that he is someone who isn’t a serious person. . . . “
It is the exact opposite. McConnell knows Trump is serious. the only serious person in the room most of the time. McConnell lives in his fantasy world with his RINO colleagues who are all scared to death of the serious threat Trump poses to them.
Former Republican strategist ,LOL
“Former Republican”
Is more like it.
Perhaps the Establishment branch of the Republican party SHOULD be dead and buried. It is Trump’s party now, and the banner is - different.
The voters are leading by supporting President Trump.
The politicians sometimes follow—or sometimes just get out of the way.
In the old days they called that “democracy”.
Lol.
“RINO’S are on the run, and in a herd. Not a bad thing.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yes, and we have to hold our ideological ground, and make them come to us. We need to continue to show we offer something new and better.
Trump “isn’t a serious person”?

Notice how this airhead implies that McConnell is a “serious person”, but Trump isn’t. The GOPe and their sycophants truly are hopeless, unprincipled POS.
“Because my god, could you be any more of a coward, Mitch McConnell? You’re in a position to actually say no, we cannot allow someone like this to be the President of the United States again.

I think the 4 driving forces behind moron statements like the foregoing by Ms. Setmayer are: 1. Personal wealth pursuing, anti patriot Senators and Representatives of the UNI Party 2. CCP and US Defense dept. money 3. LGBTQ radical terrorists 4. MSM communists
“Like political parties are never supposed to come together.”
Being that the Dems are RUSHING Head-Long into World War 3, it probably wouldn’t be a bad time to put up some opposition, as any relationship between Trump and McConnell would be with Trump in charge.
“Setmayer told MSNBC”

It’s dead and buried anyway.
What serious threat does President Trump pose to the Senate without a Republican Majority and without MAGA Senators?
The Senate is its own body. They will act, rightly or wrongly on what they believe are the bests interests for the country and for them politically.
