No. He won't side with Democrats. Stop thinking Republicans are willing to govern.
Edit: McConnel just endorsed Trump, so there you go.
I don't disagree, but telling people what to think isn't a good look
"Stop thinking that" is a pretty harmless colloquialism.
I'm pretty certain "stop thinking that" means exactly what it says
But if you have any evidence that it's a colloquialism and doesn't mean exactly what he said I'm all ears
Side with Democrats?
You're very clever, young man, very clever,".... "But it's turtles all the way down!"

He won't "side with Democrats". He may work on things that Trump doesn't like, though, which may end up also gaining Democratic support.
Look at the Immigration bill, for instance. He rightfully looked to that as a golden opportunity to get the reforms he wanted, without having to give up anything to Democrats in terms of the DREAM act people or anything like that. Trump shit all over it, and now they have nothing. Expect more of that.
It would be hilarious if he endorsed Biden, but I don't see that happening.
would that even move anyone, how much influence does mcconell have?
I don't think it would influence anyone, but rather it would be a statement on how Biden always considered him a friend.
