Thing is, Trump really doesn't care about the Senate if he's not President

[Tommy_Carcetti]

McConnell on the other hand certainly does.

I’m guessing he’s banking on the Trump cult to save him in Georgia.

Which means he has to kiss Trump’s ass in substantiating Trump’s fairy tale of voter fraud.

Problem is, the crazier Trump’s claims are, the more it hurts everyone associated with him.

But McConnell can’t back out and it might end up bringing both of the bastards down.

Which would be absolutely delightful and delicious on all fronts.

Either that, or Trump just tried some crazy coup shit.

11. If he's not President, Trump doesn't care about the country.

2. My fervent hope is that he ignores the Georgia runoffs.

We need his supporters to stay home on January 5.

7. If he can't go to GA and run his mouth about himself...he won't go

[Funtatlaguy]

9. Hope that's true.would love for him to say something insulting about Georgia.

3. True that and further, he is likely to be more angry and revengeful toward Republicans for not savin

him than at the Democrats.

4. Great summation!!

5. He doesnt really know what the Senate is or where it is. I am not exaggerating.

8. it could be both.

trump is trying to take the government by force and mcconnell does want to keep a republican majority.

he's never been anything but party over country.

it could also be that he's cool with trump stealing it, because his main goal in life is permanent minority rule. in other words, he's no more committed to democracy than trump is. or putin is.

10. I am so motivated to give money and make these 2 seats turn blue.

I think we all are.....

12. I believe you are right.

Without MAGA's showing up to vote, Mitch will lose. I still think we will have the Senate.

[kurtcagle]

13. I think this has really turned ugly for the Republicans

McConnell is worried that without Trump, his supporters aren't going to show up, while Trump couldn't give a damn about the Senate at this point unless he can reverse the election. However, McConnell just doesn't have the money to pour into both the GA elections and Trump's legal actions / legal defense fund, and it's likely that most GOP contributors aren't going to pour money into either without significant quid pro quo.
