Mitch McConnell has announced his endorsement of Donald Trump for president.
He took his time, but ultimately Senator Mitch McConnell has fallen in line and endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2024.
The Senate minority leader and longtime leader of the Senate Republican caucus said in a statement to The Washington Post Wednesday that “It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States.”
McConnell announced his decision just minutes after Trump’s lone remaining challenger, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, dropped out of the race after only winning one of Super Tuesday’s 16 state contests. McConnell himself announced last week that he will step down as GOP leader in November.
He can put on a brave face all he wants, he and the Republicans and Neoliberals of the Reagan era declared war on facts when they got in the way of corporate profit (‘climate change is hoax for scientists to sell books herp derp’), indoctrinating tens of millions of hateful, conspiratorial lunatics to trust nothing except conservative media, until it became self sustaining, the monsters they created stopped trusting anything at all except their own stoked hatreds, and corporate Republicans like McConnell found their party power structure and even chambers being invaded by some of the ignorant hicks their con-game was meant to manipulate as their useful idiots, not scuffing the floors of his halls of sophisticated right-wing power.
Trump just instinctually saw the con-game, and stole it right out from under the old money corporate Republicans by turning their well honed dog whistles into screeching bullhorns.
I have no doubt McConnell feels shame in his retreat and endorsement of his power structure’s thief, not because he ever cared about the country, its people, or the future, but because their long-meticulous con of the correct room of sophisticated people manipulating the peasants for their portfolio’s interests was invaded, conquered, and broken by a small time crass baffoon who stole their con out from under them because, though he is a baffoon and an idiot, Trump does have innate, instinctual con-game that can’t really be taught, and that includes recognizing other’s grifts and making them his. If Trump weren’t born to money, he’d be the top earner at whatever shady used car lot he eventually landed in.
Best laid plans, Mitch.
One last middle finger to the country before he rolls out
I really don’t understand this bloke. He’s on his deathbed and wants Trump on his tombstone.
That is just more reason for me to mage the pilgrimage to piss on his grave.
There should be a website with a signup list for reservations to piss on his grave that we can fill up and send him a link to before he dies.
Doesn’t have a choice. I don’t buy the idea that he’s on death’s door, I don’t dare to hope anymore. I believe he was forced out as part of MAGAt’s ongoing power struggle with the Republican Party. McConnell’s leaving for the same reason that RNC leadership has received a shake-up; they weren’t loyal enough to Trump.
Bitch McConnell
even his shell couldn’t keep him right side up
