4. McConnell is the perfect Republican, what ever he says will end up being a lie.

Republicans would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than to stand on the ground to tell the truth.

3. It's becoming so incredibly obvious that turtle will do or say anything to get himself back in power

I thought with his statements following the impeachment trial about “it” being held accountable that turtle had maybe come to his senses....nope, still totally drunk on power

9. He's not going to be. Remember how many Republicans sang President G.W. Bush's praises

and declared anyone who did not support the Iraq war as anti-Americans? Go to FreeRepublic (actually, don't, take my word for it) now and you will find former President Bush is constantly berated and his legacy treated as flawed -- particularly for the Iraq war (oh, the irony. Self-reflection is generally not a Republican attribute). Mark my words, the same will be the case with former President Trump in a few years. Give it some time for the shine to wear off and the "my party before my country" folks to conclude that he won't help their party in the next election cycle, and you will hear the same type of language now directed at Bush directed at Trump.
