Mitch McConnell Doesn't Realize It Yet But Donald Trump Will.....

have Mitch McConnell to blame for destroying the Repug Party and losing the Senate, House and Presidency in 2020.

You know that Trump will not take the fall for that and that he always has to have someone to blame.

Mitch seems to be basking in the glory now - but soon - Mitch will be the fall guy for the big loss by Repugs in 2020.

he can't turn on one without turning on both. As long as Mitch supports him, Trump will leave both alone. If we win the Senate, Trump will be gone too so he can blame them from his home in NY or his jail cell.

Seriously, we all sit here and the media does it too trying to apply normal thought processes to what Trump says or doesn't say. This is why he is successful, he doesn't care. He is not constrained by norms, he doesn't care if the GOP is destroyed, he doesn't care of Mitch likes or hates him. All he cares about is maintaing power, if that is the presidency then that's what he focuses on, if that's his businesses then that's it. He will say and do anything in order to maintain that position.

Will he blame Mitch? Sure why not, if it works in his favor. Will he really care though if he's reelected? Not at all because to him he won. This is why he is so dangerous.
