I can’t even listen to it. It has been obvious that McConnell is toast since his capitulation to the swamp regarding the border nonsense. His retirement plans are an attempt to extend his power for another year, and predictably the republicans fell for it, patting themselves on the back all the way for their victory. This corruptocrat has as much sentience as Biden. Give him another year! Great plan. We win! Populists…smarten the fuck up!
McConnell has become irrelevant. When the House was under Pelosi he had some minor level of importance. Even with McCarthy as Speaker he had some influence. Now that Johnson is Speaker and the GOP House has stopped rubber stamping everything the administration wants. Since the Dems control the Senate no one cares about McConnell anymore. He isn’t running for reelection and he will no longer be the minority leader after Nov. He already has no power since he didn’t support Trump and the GOP Senators don’t follow his lead anymore. He is leader in name only.
The point is that those who backed Turtle for all this time are not going to go away silently into the night.
They have Haley. They have $$$ from the MIC, they have the CIA and they likely have allies among the Dems. And they can exert pressure in every congressional district with defense contractors. Which is nearly all of them.
CTH has been tracking Turtle’s exit path for at least a year. It will be VERY revealing who gets the post next? Next of kin, or MAGA?
Its early innings, but the budget battle (including aid) is the next skirmish.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Republicans, boot this fucker now!
