(146,192 posts)That's pretty obvious. Now, what he will actually do still remains to be seen. He has, however, done something remarkably stupid in declaring that he's on Trump's side. That will taint everything he does from here on out, and we have his own words to throw back at him.
Bottom line is that the Senate will not remove Trump. What happens between now and the time that vote is taken could be very, very interesting, actually. McConnell will not be in charge during the actual trial. Chief Justice Roberts will be. That could change Mitch's plans quite a bit, really. What Roberts will do is unpredictable, but we'll get to see.
In fact, we'll get to see a lot of what goes on. And we and the media will be able to comment on it. In the end, Trump will still be in the White House, but other things may look different after all this.
Mitch McConnell has stated clearly that he's Trump's boy. That's going to backfire on him, I think.
