Mitch McConnell did not win back the "conservatives" at CPAC...

...with his absurd comment yesterday in responding to a question from FOX "News". Quite the opposite, they hate him even more.

Even they do not have that short of a memory. They remember Mitch. They remember how he went to the floor of the Senate, after the 2nd impeachment vote, and told the truth about the Traitor Trump. They remember that.

They now see Mitch McConnell as even more two-faced and despicable than before. He does not get back into the good graces of Trump people that easily.

He would be wise not to show up at the CPAC Convention, in my opinion.

psycho cult for many years, with each year it gets worst, They are beyond conservativism. This is the making of 40 - 50 years of total insanity wrapped in the USA flag, a bible in one hand and a gun in the other hand.

They wanted him to run for President in 2012. They worshiped him even then.
