McConnell, like us political junkies can see that Trump’s endorsement may get a Republican a US Senate primnary win….
But?
Is likely to cost the party a loss in November….
Unlike the other Trump ass kissers?
McConnell and few other GOPer’s are willing to walk past the Trump noise……
Donald Trump REALLY is NOT about the Republican Party …
He’s about MONEY and HIMSELF….
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday downplayed expectations of Republicans capturing control of the Senate in the fall elections, describing “candidate quality” as an important factor.
“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different — they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome,” he said in Florence, Kentucky, at a Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce luncheon when asked about his projection for the 2022 election.
“Right now, we have a 50-50 Senate and a 50-50 country, but I think when all is said and done this fall, we’re likely to have an extremely close Senate, either our side up slightly or their side up slightly.”
Even though history strongly favors the party out of power — in this case the GOP — to make gains in midterm races, McConnell has long worried that subpar candidates could play into Democrats’ hands.
While he didn’t mention any names, there are examples across the country….

Who is really “about the Republican Party?”
You act as if “Republican Party” is some kind of organism or something.
Look ,the Republican Party is made up of those who call themselves Republicans, who participatein the Party apparatus and who vote in Republican primaries.
And those people certainly think Trump is “about” the Republican Party.They vote for him.They support him.By your own admission he is dominant in the Republican Party .
But you know better than they do,right?
That’s stupid.
Who do you think is “about” the Republican Party?Mitch McConnell?As requires constant reiterating,McConnell has no influence in the nationalRepublican Party.Hell if he were attend a Republican convention now?He would be booed off the floor.Mitt Romney?He wears a hat in public so he won’t be harassed by fellow Republicans!Liz Cheney? See Tuesday.
These little meanderings of yours are absurd and old.Today?Donald Trump is Mr. Republican!Anybody who cant see that?Has no knowledge of politics whatsoever.

None of the above obfuscation has anything to do with my post.
Par for the course though.
jamesb says
ACTUALLY?
I think it nails it….
You continue to accept, then deny That EVERY GOPer supports Trump….
They don’t….
Some like Cheney , who is a SOLID GOPer’s has NOT deviated from the public stance….
He, he, ….
2 of those that voted to impeach Trump are actually survivors !….
Sad it’s just 2…..

@TristanSnell
Mitch McConnell has now said he doesn’t think the GOP will win the Senate this fall, citing “candidate quality” issues.
Hear that, Dr. Oz, Herschel Walker, Marco Rubio, Ron Johnson, and JD Vance? You’re already being blamed and you haven’t even lost yet.
My Name Is Jack says
Well here we go.
Your typical modus operandi.
Obfuscation followed by a blatant lie.
I have never said that every Republican supports Trump.Indeed one would be stupid to make such an absurd statement.
So that’s a lie and you are such a well known liar that such a lie is not surprising.
And I would invite anyone to read my original post, which was discussing your claim that Trump was not “about” the Republican Party , and your post above and how it relates to it.
It doesn’t of course.
jamesb says
No lie….
…”You continue to accept, then deny ‘….
Please reread the post….
I invite it…..
My Name Is Jack says
I read it and you say that I “accept”that every GOPer supports Trump and I have never said that.
You simply possess no reading comprehension.
My Name Is Jack says
Further that whole response of yours has nothing to do with my ordinal post.
The fact that you apparently don’t understand that shows once again,a total lack of reading comprehension.

Come ON Jack…
