‘Titular party head’ McConnell cares about only one thing ‘post-Trump’

Senator Mitch McConnell recently voted to acquit Donald Trump only because the action was unconstitutional but also told the public that DJT could be charged criminally. McConnell told Politico that is not a subject he cares to revisit, but it is clear he is no friend of Donald Trump’s.

McConnell wants a swamp party with him as the head swamp creature.

He cares about only one thing right now — electability.

McConnell needs to pick up just one Senate seat to become majority leader again. However, he’s facing perhaps challenging hurdles, not only with the tea party conservatives who will put up their candidates but also with the extremely loose voting methods Democrats plan to put into place.

ELECTABILITY

In a Saturday night phone interview with Politico, McConnell made clear he will not hesitate to wade into future primary races if a Trump-backed candidate — like Kelli Ward in Arizona or Lara Trump in North Carolina — threatens his bid to retake the majority.

He cares about one thing — electability.

“My goal is, in every way possible, to have nominees representing the Republican Party who can win in November,” McConnell said by telephone. “Some of them may be people the former president likes. Some of them may not be. The only thing I care about is electability.”

The Kentuckian made clear that “I’m not predicting the president would support people who couldn’t win. But I do think electability — not who supports who — is the critical point.”

MCCONNEL AS THE PARTY HEAD?

McConnell is asserting himself as the head of the party. Trump has been denied a public platform of any kind and is silent in Florida.

“To the degree that there’s a titular leader for the party,” it’s McConnell, said GOP whip Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Trump has threatened Thune with a primary challenge, making the South Dakotan one of several in McConnell’s conference to face Trump-inspired challenges in deep-red states.

Mitch would not comment on Donald Trump and his comments about criminal prosecution. He said, “I’ve said all I need to say about that.”

McConnell would not address Democrats’ criticism of him for appearing to want it both ways with the acquittal/scorching of Trump. He declined to comment on Trump seeking the White House in 2024, responding, “I’m focused on ‘22.”

“We’ll focus on what the Biden agenda looks like,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a top McConnell deputy. “That will create some cohesion among the loyal opposition.”

In the House, Liz Cheney will be shoved down Republicans’ and conservatives’ throats.

MANY WANT AMERICA FIRST

But not everyone listens to the party leader.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) challenged the November election results despite McConnell’s warnings not to force the issue. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) plans to meet with Trump soon to discuss the party’s future.

Then there’s about a half-dozen senators who look to be mulling presidential runs, many under the Trump mantle.

“I don’t know what happens to the party as a whole in terms of the folks deeply committed to President Trump,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), who is close to McConnell. “But I hope they stick with us.”

I bet she does. McConnellites can’t win without the America First supporters, even if DJT decides to stay out of the limelight. Trump supporters can’t win without them either. It’s perfect for the hard-left Democrat Party.

BUT HOW DO WE STICK WITH THEM?

Across the Capitol, Trump’s supporters think GOP senators are making things harder, particularly the Republican leader. Twice now, McConnell has openly savaged Trump for allegedly spreading electoral conspiracy theories and ginning up the mob that stormed the Capitol.

One problem is mail-in balloting, ballot harvesting, not cleaning up voter rolls, and voting without IDs leads to corruption. Democrats are pushing it, and we don’t know if there will be any pushback.

As foreigners flood the nation, they will soon vote for Democrats. Will Republicans under McConnell resist? They haven’t so far.

Will McConnell put America First? That is what Trump supporters actually want. It’s not a cult following a Jim Jones. It’s a significant portion of the population who want America to be first, not Chinese Communists and everyone else in an artificial global union.

A party with Mitch as the leader is a party of failure. He has no appeal, is not a conservative, and the base hates him.

Mitch has been getting involved in races for many years, behind the scenes. He smears conservatives. He supports with money bad people, such as Sessions in 2020. His record is awful, he has lost many races he should have won. Look how badly he did in Georgia. What a fraud he is. He is not interested in electability, he wants to preserve his privilege and be protected from exposure.

The Tea Party had the potential for real change, but didn’t break away from the Republican Party and was neutralized. President Trump is now in the position to create a 3rd Party that will matter. Republicans aren’t in tune with the People, just Corporations. Democrats have totally screwed themselves with the people sucking up to the Teacher’s Union on one side and destroying great Union Jobs in Oil & Gas on the other. There are 34 Senate Seats up for grabs in 2022. There are a dozen seats that President Trump could take with 3rd Party Candidates in 2022. He only needs 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans to totally change politics in the Senate. A dozen seats from each side in the House, and the New Party will control the Congress, because without them the Democrats and Republicans would be able to do anything.

President Trump should call this the REVENGE Tour. If a 3rd Party can STOP the carnage of the Democrats and Republicans, it would have a serious chance for the White House in 2024. President Trump has over 70,000,000 solid supports. In reality I think the Democrats only have 60 million supports, 20 million ballots were fake, and Republicans might corral 5 Million. President Trump is in position to change America and return it to The People and pretty much destroy the Swamp with neither party in full control to protect it. It is clearly time for a Third Party and President Trump is the first person in almost 200 years to create it.

Other than Divine intervention our only hope for a peaceful and Constitutional solution to this mess is a Convention of States. Check to see if your state has signed on and if not, lobby your state legislatures and governors to sign on.

It’s as simple as China Mitch losing his connections to the CCP’s money. China Mitch is one of those type of friends who are supportive Only when their cause is at stake, Judges in this case. Judges who support the “state” and the “corporate” over individual. Rich Baris has exposed who and what they are in recent videos. In most cases you don’t need insider information to realize it.

Bwahaha! That is so cute. The CPUSA won’t be allowing any other parties after they consolidate power. You should have used your big brain and thought about this outcome.
The CCP needs a commissioner of sewers if you are interested.
A long way from the my man Mitch theater from Peachy Mints Volume 1.
Keep dreaming about leading the chamber of commerce wing of the Uniparty.

This just in from back to back impeachment champion DJT-nom nom nom Peachy Mints.
