"SNIP......

Former President Donald Trump put out a very long statement attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Said Trump: “The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political ‘leaders’ like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm.”

He continued: “Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again.”

Trump also promised to “back primary rivals” of certain incumbent GOP senators.

......SNIP"

It was a long statement through his PAC and posted in twitter i did not link to. Long?..... Nobody in his base will read it.

4. Can't they all just go out and "challenge each other to a duel" (in the words of the late

a'hole GA Governor Zell Miller, as some here will remember). Let's find a desert island somewhere and let them fight it out.

5. If it was a long statement and didn't repeat sentences

then we know Trump didn't write it.

7. Took them 3 days to write it, so it must have a group project.

6. Trump will never give money to other candidates , never has

He will certainly hold a rally where he will pull a muscle patting himself on the back. He will be generous to give a candidate a minute of mic time with him on stage. He cares for no one but himself and doesn’t know how to hide it.
Ask Martha Mcsally, Kelly Leoffler and David Perdue what Trump means by “backing” them.

8. I am hoping he does a rally now and rips into McConnell and the 7 senators.

9. Trump is the Republicans' problem now.

We handed them the impeachment on a platter as a method to get rid of Trump forever - and they chickened out - and now Trump and his family will be their problem to deal with for the foreseeable future.

10. It's good that Trump really appreciates Mitch squaring him away with an acquittal

McConnell just isn't good enough at being a toadie like Stephen Miller or Lindsey Graham. And he just didn't understand that he had to bury Trump while he had the chance. Unfortunately, I think we're just two years away from a senate where the future republican faction will make the current make-up look like responsible statesmen.

11. Mitch really screwed up

Either you back a cult leader to the bitter end, or you turn on him and shoot to kill. Continuing to enable him while also badmouthing him is guaranteed to end badly for you.
