You cross Trump and Mitch they will see you are primaried. And you might have to find a real job.
Do you really think Mitch McConnel is aligned at this time with Senator Graham and Citizen Donald Trump?
I think Machiavellian Mitch tried to thread a needle with hanging rope.
It was hanging unused from the gallows built for Mike Pence.
He knew KNEW Trump was proven guilty, and said so, but he voted to acquit on a false technicality, an asterisk
*. And it was an illegitimate asterisk, and one the Senate rejected, that having the trial was not in its jurisdiction. They voted it was.
But he and many of the others chose to ignore the ruling of the Senate and just play by the rules they wanted to play by.
That's anarchy.
And this ignores the fact he created the issue by not opening the Senate in a timely manner to hear the case.
But having said that MM feared losing his leadership position in the Senate so he kissed the asterisk
*.But he also knows that while Trump was acquitted 43-57, the real score might have been 40-60, or even 30-70, and even the "57" would indicate that most of American understood Trump's treason.
But he still has pull in the Red states and Mitch needs senators from those states if he has any chance of regaining the majority
and its all about power to Mitch.
So Trump may still bully and control the Repubs, most of America understands how corrupt and scared the Repubs are of Trump.
Its not a good look.
as for Lindsey maybe with a rub on the belly and a 'attaboy" from Trump he'll challenge Mitch for Republican Senate primacy.
but Graham doesn't strike me as an alpha dog.
He's a coward and history will not remember him kindly.
If the Repubs pin their hopes to Trump and Graham, IMO they're fucked.
