    I think this is McConnell's goal but it's risky. We don't know how large and loyal the Trump faction will be.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1349138858223525889 …

    what i mean by this, if it wasn’t clear, is that the past week gave Republicans an easy opportunity to jettison Trump, marginalize his faction, and neutralize the likely 2024 frontrunner. mcconnell clearly saw this last week (listen to his post-attack speech) https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1349107973478621185 …

        House GOP reflects the base better then Senate GOP. 2/3rd of caucuses voted to overthrow election

        If McConnell believed that throwing Trump under the bus would help the GOP in 2022, he'd see it done.

        If Sessions lost his seat to a football coach, very few Republicans are safe from a Trumpist primary.

        Isn’t the play that you can stand over there with the corporate money ban and the Q shaman, or you can come home, broadcast your fealty to the Republic, and get rewarded with all that cash.

        Exactly. Just like up until last week the money lay in broadcasting your fealty to Trump. Always follow the money.

        Every option carries risks, and the risks of bending to Trump’s will indefinitely became more salient to Mitch after Georgia

        I don’t think McConnell does either. But he was just re-elected for a six year term and probably won’t run again and sees a shot and so he’s taking it. If Trump goes down, great for the party! If he metastasizes and becomes stronger... well McConnell can retire as a very old man.
