Could someone offer a plausible explanation for McConnell's consistently pro-Russian,

[Atticus]

pro-Trump, anti-American positions that does not involve Russian "Kompromat"?

1. McConnell

Fear of upsetting Cheeto, and by extension, upsetting Cheeto’s Base.

[PRETZEL]

2. Long and short answer

money.............

[sharedvalues]

6. Money money money

American GOP oligarchs like the Koches, Mercer, Murdoch, DeVos, Pope, Uilines have similar interests to Russian oligarchs and Putin. Money money money at the expense of the working and middle class is their agenda.

And both know they need propaganda to achieve their agenda. Hence Fox, Breitbart, RT, Sputnik.

Money from both kinds of oligarchs went into the NRA and McConnell’s PAC



Bottom line: American GOP oligarchs care more about money than they care about America. Which is why they are working towards the same goals as russia

4. I'll answer that question w/a question. How did McConnell know that by blocking Garland ...

.... for the SCOTUS he would have somebody else to vote for after the 2016
election?

[dalton99a]

5. Yep. And his wife's Cabinet appointment was totally unplanned

[Botany]

7. And Mitch got plenty of Russian money too.

Be it from oligarchs or washed through the NRA he got millions.

In 2015-16, everything changed. Blavatnik's political contributions soared and made a hard right
turn as he pumped $6.35 million into GOP political action committees, with millions of dollars going
to top Republican leaders including Sens. Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham.
