How important that McConnell contradicted Trump today?

[kentuck]

He didn't have to respond the way he did. He could have said "No comment". Or he could have just ignored the question?

Instead, McConnell said, “We’ve not had any conversations on that subject.”

When asked if that meant the president was lying, McConnell said, “You’ll have to ask him. I don’t recall any conversations with the president about that phone call.”

This is a method that Trump uses to test if people are standing with him. If they are willing to cover for his "little lies", they are still on board.

As of today, he cannot count on McConnell being part of his team. And that must scare the crap out of him?

1. Not that I trust Moscow Mitch to do the right thing

But I do trust him to cover his own ass

[MyOwnPeace]

3. Yeah, that's sums it up.

I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I could throw a potato chip ("potatoe" for the "Quayle" fans out there!).

But, yes, if it comes down to "going down with him" or "still swimming in the pond" - McTurtle is gonna' keep his head above water and floating on down the stream.

And if IQ45 gets pi$$ed at McTurtle - you KNOW EVERYTHING is gonna' go down SO much faster to keep Pence in power and McTurtle still "on his game."

Now, let's talk about getting rid of ALL THREE!!!!!

2. Republicans understand Moscow Mitch is a snake who will do for himself first, then his party.

And I don't think he ever considered Trump a Republican, certainly not a good one.

[dlk]

4. McConnell looks out for McConnell, first and foremost

If he thought Trump was going down, Moscow Mitch would sell him out in a heartbeat.

5. Moscow Mitch

Will be back on the Trump train tomorrow just like Lindsey

[diva77]

6. McTurd approved $250 million for election security. Maybe that will help him "win"

7. This one goes to 11. It was on IMPEACHMENT, not Syria, as before. nt

8. Mitch

is pulling on his CYA pants. He'll change them as needed.

9. All Moscow Mitch was saying was

"lie all you want, just leave me out of your lies. I'll cover for you, but I won't participate. I have my own lies, I don't need yours"

[global1]

10. Here's Mitchy......

11. A satisfying optic, but it doesn't mean shit.

He’s a lying sack of shit, only one level below the cheetoh faced ferret wearing shit gibbon himself, if it’s convenient to do so tomorrow, he’ll deny saying what he said in front of the camera today.

Take what you can get though, enjoy his raging thumbs tonight as he tries to throw Moscow Mitch under the bus. After what’s happened to our nation, that may be the only real pleasure I get out of this, is watching these rats try to eat each other.
