Spineless Mitch McConnell Immediately Bends the Knee to Trump

He can put on a brave face all he wants, he and the Republicans and Neoliberals of the Reagan era declared war on facts when they got in the way of corporate profit ('climate change is hoax for scientists to sell books herp derp'), indoctrinating tens of millions of hateful, conspiratorial lunatics to trust nothing except conservative media, until it became self sustaining, the monsters they created stopped trusting anything at all except their own stoked hatreds, and corporate Republicans like McConnell found their party power structure and even chambers being invaded by some of the ignorant hicks their con-game was meant to manipulate as their useful idiots, not scuffing the floors of his halls of sophisticated right-wing power.

Trump just instinctually saw the con-game, and stole it right out from under the old money corporate Republicans by turning their well honed dog whistles into screeching bullhorns.

I have no doubt McConnell feels shame in his retreat and endorsement of his power structure's thief, not because he ever cared about the country, its people, or the future, but because their long-meticulous con of the correct room of sophisticated people manipulating the peasants for their portfolio's interests was invaded, conquered, and broken by a small time crass baffoon who stole their con out from under them because, though he is a baffoon and an idiot, Trump does have innate, instinctual con-game that can't really be taught, and that includes recognizing other's grifts and making them his. If Trump weren't born to money, he'd be the top earner at whatever shady used car lot he eventually landed in.

Best laid plans, Mitch.

One last middle finger to the country before he rolls out

I really don’t understand this bloke. He’s on his deathbed and wants Trump on his tombstone.

Bitch McConnell

even his shell couldn't keep him right side up

I thought he was dead or at least had had a stroke

Bitch McConnell

Russian asset

What is it with all these spineless cowards exposing their bellies for the orange Fatman? Rafael Cruz's father was the zodiac killer and his wife was ugly, Turtle McConnell's wife got hit with racist slurs.

Looks like the gop were the ones with no principles all along. Just keep licking them boots boys! I'm sure they'll be a little more lubed when they enter your asses.

How anyone can look to them with hope and admiration is beyond me.

Mitch McConnell suffers from unexpected and debilitating system reboots on a regular basis, and he richly deserves it.

Bootlicker licking boot.

News at 11.

Anyone who didn't expect this and still thinks we can work with senate republicans isn't fit to be in office.

I'd rather not spend four more years watching geriatric Charlie Brown try to kick a football.

It's just elder abuse at this point, because he clearly can't remember what happened last time.

One last middle finger to the rest of us as he's getting ushered out to pasture.

Mitch McConnell died two months ago

trumps hat gets more askew all the time

Turtle spines are fused to their shells, they should never bend!

Check those matching expressions of duping delight in that pic.

So reading the posted article but not whatever McConnell's handlers wrote for him in WaPo, this

It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States.

is not an endorsement, it's a statement of facts. The primary voters in the states that matter (you know, all the ones up to Super Tuesday) decided they wanted Trump for their nominee. That doesn't mean McConnell is happy about it (and if he is, maybe the New Republic article should have quoted that instead?)

... to the surprise of absolutely no-one.
