I wonder if McConnell still has an unscratched itch to make someone a one-term President.

This is exactly why I thought it was a terrible idea for McConnell to let his wife accept a cabinet position. Now Trump can use her as a hostage when heā€™s angry and desperately wants the Senate to do something McConnell doesnā€™t want to do.

Your theory would work if Mitch had a conscience.

ā€œTrump and McConnell had a ā€˜profane shouting matchā€™ā€¦ā€

ā€œ[Trump] suggested that McConnell had not sufficiently protected him from the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.ā€

ā€œ[McConnell] described the President as completely unwilling to learn how to govern and has questioned whether Trump is a fit leader for the Republican Party.ā€

Iā€™d consider cutting off my left pinkie toe for a tape of this, if a tape existed and that was the asking price. Getting to hear crybaby-in-chief berating the worldā€™s most despicable turtle-man for his own failed promises would be the only consolation prize for having to live under their ā€œgovernanceā€. I wonder what names Trump called him.

A fact that George W. Bush was more than happy to advertise in his memoirs. Which tells you a great deal, I think.

Why would anyone have sympathy for the GOP? They sacrificed their soul for power and ironically have very little because of who got them there. Delicious.

Gee, I wonder who will win there. Seeing McConnell get pummeled like this almost makes it worth living through a Trump presidency, or at least it deadens the pain a bit.

Is anything EVER The Orange Oneā€™s fault? Itā€™s like when the alcoholic dad comes home late at night. Stay out of sight or youā€™ll get whooped. Seriously, who the hell wants to work with this guy?

ā€œAs a body nears the event horizon, it accelerates faster and faster. Time slows down, as the hopeless quarry hurdles toward light velocity. At a certain point, the gravitational field is so strong that nothing ā€“ not even light ā€“ can escape the crushing doom that awaits it. Faster and faster it tumbles, in horrifying, unimaginable descentā€¦ā€

"and suggested that McConnell had not sufficiently protected him " from the Russian conspiracy investigation.

Was this another suggestion like the one TrumPP delivered to Comey? Is it obstruction? Are there recordings or transcripts?
