Bottom Line first: Trump and McConnell reportedly have not spoken since shortly after the 2020 presidential election, and the U.S. Senate is strictly divided along party lines—Conservative (MAGA) and Uniparty.
Whether or not the first part of the above statement is true, the return to Constitutional Republic rule will be more likely achieved without The Turtle.
This from newsmax.com.
Many GOP senators say they want to end the party’s tensions when replacing their longtime party leader.
Identifying and installing a suitable save-the-nation replacement for Senate RINO Leader Mitch McConnell—“who announced this week he will step down from his leadership role this fall”—is exposing the division in the party over President Trump (MAGA) loyalists and those who intend to continue selling out to the communist/globalist Uniparty apparatus and treasonous pay-for-play conduct.
The Hill reported:
While some Senate Republicans are calling for the next party leader to be aligned with Trump, others want McConnell’s successor to remain distant.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said it is “imperative” for the next leader to work closely with Trump.
Tuberville stated:
We’ve got to get somebody now who’s going to energize our base all across the country for Senate Republicans and also going to be able to get on that airplane with Trump and stand up at a rally and say, ‘Listen, we need President Trump to win,’ and be very truthful about it.
However, other Republicans say they are concerned, calling the 2020 stolen election a “loss” and faulting Trump’s endorsing of party candidates in the 2022 midterms.
They are also concerned about:
Trump’s growing influence in the chamber, including last month, when he pushed party members to reject a package combining funding for Ukraine and border security reforms.
Sen. Mitt Romney (RINO-UT) who told CNN this week he would “absolutely not” support Trump over Biden in the November election, stated:
[M]any of his fellow Republicans in the Senate are endorsing Trump because of political self-preservation.
Further, Romney said:
[M]any other senators want a different nominee for the White House.
He told The Hill:
If you were to ask individuals: ‘OK, if you could choose anyone to be the Republican nominee,’ I don’t think he would be likely to get the majority of the caucus.
Could this possibly be because you bast*rds have sold out America, are compromised, and don’t want your treasonous gravy train to be stopped?
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (RINO-SD) and former Senate GOP Whip John Cornyn (RINO-TX) have had a mixed relationship over the years with Trump, who is pushing for Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT)Â to replace McConnell.
Trump slammed Thune as a ‘RINO’ in 2020 after the senator opposed efforts to delay Biden’s certification and threatened him with a primary challenge in 2022.
[He] also has referred to Cornyn as a ‘RINO’ after he negotiated a bipartisan bill on gun violence after the Uvalde, Texas, school shootings.
However:
Thune and Cornyn have reportedly spoken to Trump in recent days to point out how they have worked to further his agenda.
They want Trump’s support as a “political self-preservation” ploy but they fear being caught-up in Trump’s inevitable house cleaning.
Sen. Mike Rounds (RINO-SD) who has not endorsed Trump’s race, said [Trump’s] endorsement:
[C]ould help or hurt a candidate for McConnell’s seat.
Thune has endorsed Trump’s race, but Rounds said (Thune’s) ability to keep his distance from Trump may help him become the next Senate GOP leader.
Rounds said of his South Dakota colleague:
I’ve known John for 30 years. He doesn’t play games. He’s straightforward. What you see is what you get.
He grew up in a time in which Ronald Reagan was a guy we both admired.
Final thoughts: Change is frightening for many. And ignorance is bliss. Combine these two descriptive cliches and you have a picture depicting most politicians who call themselves Republicans.
These fools are staring at sociocultural suicide and refuse to acknowledge it.
