McConnell Trying To Maintain Control of Senate

Mitch McConnell is trying to undermine Trump before he leaves the Senate. McConnell, who announced his upcoming retirement earlier this year, has called for an election of the new Republican Senate leader this Wednesday, before he leaves office. Normally it would be held after the new Senate is sworn in.

There's a reason McConnell is doing this. McConnell is anti-Trump and anti-MAGA. He has made it clear, particularly in the months leading up to the election. Now, before he leaves, he wants to stack the deck against Trump by getting one of his close allies, John Thune or RINO John Cornyn, elected to replace him. Both Thune and Cornyn have been on record voicing opposition to Trump.

Rick Scott of Florida is the third candidate. He's a Trump ally and McConnell does not want him to be the majority leader. 

Why would McConnell do that?, you might ask. It's because McConnell is an old school swamp dweller who does not want Trump to change things, even after he leaves. How could Thune or Cornyn interfere with Trump's agenda with a 53 to 47 majority? By refusing to bring items to the floor for a vote if said items further Trump's agenda, against the desires of the swamp.

John Cornyn is from Texas. He's a snake. In his last election, when he discovered he could lose, he began courting the Democrat vote, making promises to them just to help him win. He has opposed Trump many times, and there is no reason to suspect he won't continue to do so.

On Wednesday, all Republican Senators should refuse to vote in defiance of the man who is trying to control them after he leaves office. As far as I'm concerned, Mitch McConnell did one thing right in the last 15 years. He prevented Merrick Garland, evil personified, from becoming a Supreme Court Justice. He did it by refusing to bring the confirmation hearing to the floor. Thune and Cornyn were no doubt paying attention.

McConnell needs to be stopped. With a Republican President, a Republican Senate, and soon to be Reublican House, Republicans have a great opportunity to finally get positive things done. Call your Senator. Tell him/her to shut down McConnell's anti-Trump agenda.
