We're are now entering the banana republic stage of late-stage capitalism
He blames Trump for the fact that it failed. Everything else, he was on board with
There's a stash of fireworks on standby for when that traitor finally dies, right?
After a little thought, this doesn't surprise me at all.
Name me ONE other Republican candidate that's actually gotten a decent number of articles about them in national newspapers. They've run into the exact same problem as the Tories: They've kicked anyone who's actually a competent and charismatic public servant out of the party, because said people were getting in the way of their ability to enact unbelievably stupid racism upon the nation.
And unless you have Trump-level skills at grabbing headlines and becoming a problem that makes itself worse... Well, how the hell are you going to become a relevant force that people are going to vote for, when you have no charisma, no skills, and no ability to compete with Trump for headlines? Even that Florida governor who manged to stay in the news for a few months for his racism couldn't keep up with Trump's unending torrent of bullshit and new stories for long, and if you can't keep up, I can't imagine republican voters would throw in with you over your competitor.
McConnel is unfortunately making the most competent move he can for someone that wants to cling to power at any cost (especially cost to the american public): Endorsing someone who'll avoid splitting the vote and actually killing the Republican party.
Die knowing your grandchildren have to live in the world you helped shape.
Trump will dump his ass on the street like the whore he is.
T**** just forced him out as Republicunt senate leader. I was not really expecting an endorsement, Bitch seemed to loathe him. Maybe he demanded both, lol.
Gonna be fun to watch them all get on their knees and kiss the ring, only for him to lose again. Hope Biden sends some real firepower to their second coup attempt.
Fear
Does this prove that turtles have no spines?
This is not news. Yes, Republicans are conflicted. It's hard to know the exact right way to be a cruel dick wad.
McConnell
With my dying breath I support trump!
Spineless
See guys - he just looks like a turtle. He's really a pussy.
What a little bitch
I'd be surprised if he didn't. If he stands with Trump and Trump wins, he might be in good graces and the MAGA folks don't harass him. If Trump loses, well the Democrats aren't going to care and the usual party cannibalism that follows political losses will have less reason to direct their ire in his direction.
This is in his best interests; same as always.
