‘Very Bad For The GOP’: Trump Floats Recruitment Effort To Oust McConnell | Talking Points Memo

Former President Trump hasn’t let go of his grievances against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over supposed insufficient loyalty.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1387809

This is a case of reading a headline and experiencing a sense of joy I haven’t felt looking at politics for a little while. Please, make this be so.

Just additional evidence that, without rage, spite, greed, and vengeance, there is nothing inside TFG at all.

It’s going to be difficult to find someone more heartless, underhanded and cruel than the Grim Reaper. Good thing he’s looking in Kentucky. That’s where the Paul’s live.

Plus, Trump is going to have to discover the code in those E.S.&S. machines to beat Mitch.

I’d suggest adding ‘obfuscation’, but I think it best to limit your description to words he would understand.

Did josh hawley give tfg a fist salute? I’m not sure who else he’d have in mind since the football coach and lindsey remora don’t seem interested at this point.

No kidding.
Mitch knows fool well how driven of farce Trump is when he has a perceived enema in sight. And he gets just how dangerous Trump is when he takes aim at a specific target.

Recall the debates - the GQP debates. Trump aimed for the strongest and destroyed him. And the next guy and the next guy and so forth. Even if B. BcConnell survives, he will come out scarred, maimed and a tad less powerful. Which is a very good thing for this flat earth.

Really! He’s like a malevolent Energizer Bunny. Just can not stop.
Doesn’t seem to erode his popularity among the faithful though.

I like your device’s auto-correct. :grin:

And in this case, it is so correct. McTurtle is a giant impacted blockage in the nation’s colon. TFG will need a super enema to remove him.

I suggest that Skanky’s daughter-bride-national security advisor-tax break-vinyl doll Iwanka run against McConnell. Kentucky’s voters would have a clear choice.

I think that most of the apocalyptic predictions about next years midterms fail to take into consideration the Trump effect. Obviously this is hard to do since it’s impossible to tell how much Trump will hurt the GOP next year. Still, it’s obvious that he’s trying very hard to damage them and succeeding more often than not.

Whether he’ll continue to do this for another full year is an open question, but it appears for now that he has no intention of fading away anytime soon.

The word for today is “schadenfreude”

Not only does mephistopheles take your soul, but he also doesn’t deliver. This is what has happened to everyone who has tried to bargain with Trump.

While I’d love to see Hawley or Cruz take up Trump’s challenge, Mitch runs his caucus with an iron fist so I can’t imagine anything coming of this other than to make these cowardly traitors very uncomfortable
