Mitch McConnell Will ‘Absolutely’ Back Trump as GOP Nominee in 2024

Neon Nettle: Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says he will “absolutely” back President Donald Trump if he wins the GOP nomination in 2024.

Speaking during a Fox News interview on Thursday evening, McConnell repeatedly refused to attack Trump, despite being nudged to do so.

Special Report host Bret Baier played clips from McConnell’s post-Senate trial speech where he criticized Trump.

“All right, we’re just 12 days, Senator, since your really blistering speech on the Senate floor about former President Trump,” Baier said several minutes into the interview.

When Baier attempted to push McConnell for a response on the speech, McConnell said that was in the past. more

  1. What he is meaning is that whether it’s Trump — or the local spotted owl — regardless of who the party puts forth as its nominee, he will support “the party’s decision. Because at that point as the titular leader of the party in Congress McConnell would have no choice.

    Don’t read more into the Fox and GOPe rehabilitation efforts than that.

  2. I wouldn’t let that son of a bitch anywhere near my back- he’d a back stabber.
    He just wants to rig our economy so that his wife’s family’s shipping business keeps bringing cheap chainese crap to our shores.

  3. Well isn’t that special? This cold, calculating, opportunistic shitbag is the epitome of the Republican establishment.

    They are so Goddamned out of touch with the Republican voters who they purport to represent they thought they didn’t even recognize that the base is as loyal to Trump as Trump has been to the Republican base.

    I’m not saying that Trump has not made a few unforced errors, but one can screw up w/o being disloyal. The best read I have on Trump is he was trying to do deliver on his agenda and keep his promises, but never deliberately dry shaved us. One can learn from past mistakes, but disloyalty is something that is not ever going to improve. One is an error in judgement, the latter goes to the content of character and either you have it or you do not.

    I have never felt more comfort with a politician’s sincerity as I have with Donald Trump.

    My grandfather used to say a man is only as good as his word, and if his word is no good, he is no good.

    My Grandfather lead a group of investors in developing the Strain Building in Great Falls right before the 1929 Stock Market crash. It was an investment and my grandfather paid back every single one of the other investors simply because he thought he had assured them that they were making a prudent investment.

  4. “ ‘We elected 50 Republican senators when everybody was predicting we were going to lose the Senate. ”

    And he’s proud of THAT? You dumb shit, Mitch, you LOST THE SENATE MAJORITY! THA’S HUGE, almost outweighs the National debt.
