,,McConnell is just as mean, smarter, more experience in government, knows all the ropes and how to pull them, and is just as evil. It ain't new for me, because I have disliked him for a long time. He tries to hurt people in ways that are crueler than Trump. When McConnell was quoted that he would do everything to stop Obama's programs and goals it became clear to me. McConnell is like Trump in that he thinks he knows it all.
...In some ways, McConnell is far more effective than Donald Trump I will be sending money to his opponent Amy McGrath. soon. I sure hope he looses. If both he and Trump lose, there will be a party, and everyone will be invited.

(15,798 posts)Everything McConnell did to the Obama presidency gave a sense of permission to voice hate and act upon it, thus energizing many of those now known as Trump's base. And I'm betting that old Vlad watched all that and decided that Mitch - not Trump - had created the perfect moment; Trump was the convenient useful idiot. With the millions of rubles now flooding into Kentucky, it seems that Vlad knows where to place his gratitude. Trump may well destroy the country, but Mitch handed him the dynamite.
