Fucking genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what he is thinking when he is absolutely trashing what may be left of his own reputation to support Trump? I mean Trump has his mindless cultists, but I don't think their adoration extends to Mitch... right? So when Trump throws him under the bus it not like he has anyone to rally round to save his turkey neck. And that day cannot come soon enough.
I think he is making a huge miscalculation.
Good oh.

(31,207 posts)2. He has traded any reputation and career for life-time judge appointments
Do you really believe he gives a shit what people think of him? He has dutifully done his job -- planted two pro-corporate judges on SCOTUS and dozens in Federal and Appeals Courts. When voted out or retired he'll have board and consulting offers up his ass.
Mitch won the short game.

I really trust that he will get his bloody comeuppance one of these fine days

That way 35 republican senators could vote to remove trump from office, and their nightmares would be over.
