McConnell: ‘MAGA movement is completely wrong’

Unread post by Matt »

“Trump is appealing to people who haven’t been as successful as other people and providing an excuse for that, that these more successful people have somehow … cheated and you don’t deserve to think of yourself as less successful because things haven’t been fair,” McConnell said.

The GOP leader, who is wrapping up his record-long 18-year term as Senate Republican leader, made his comments to an oral historian, and those comments were made available to his biographer.


McConnell lamented Trump’s grip over GOP voters as he takes the party away from its traditional support of free trade, immigration and projecting military power abroad.

“Unfortunately, about half of the Republicans in the country believe whatever he says,” McConnell said.
Come on Mitch, endorse Kamala.

Wouldn’t that be something.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

The Resistance begins now.

This is a pro-Democracy account.

Dear America… you were warned.

I heard McConnell interviewed on the radio once. The discussion wasn't about politics, it was just about his personal life. He seemed like an interesting character. The kind of guy I could have a beer with.

Society in Canada is less polarized than in the US. I have a neighbour here who was part of the infamous trucker blockade three years ago. We could not be further apart politically. But we get along well as neighbours. Maybe, if we were Americans, we'd be at war with each other.

Would you have a beer with Justin Trudeau?

Maybe if he invited me, but I'd be uncomfortable. I'd be embarrassed if any of my friends found out.

That's the apples to apples comparison here. I'd have to imagine Trudeau drinks White Claw.

No. He probably drinks something girly like white wine or Zinfandel.
