Do you understand what quietly happened in Kentucky tonight..

Mitch McConnell spent 41 years building the most powerful Republican machine in the Senate..

he blocked nominees.. killed legislation.. outlasted six presidents.. and bent the entire GOP caucus to his will for four decades..

and the moment he stepped back..

Trump walked in on May 1st.. endorsed Andy Barr.. offered the only real rival an ambassadorship.. and the rival dropped out the same week..

> Cameron — the man who was supposed to carry McConnell’s network forward — entered with a polling lead.. raised money.. had the name recognition.. had the Christian conservative base..

> Barr had none of that early.. until Trump made one phone call and one diplomatic offer..

> Cameron finished at 30%.. Barr won with 60%..

> the seat McConnell held since 1984 flipped to a Trump loyalist in a single primary night..

> the first open Kentucky Senate seat in 42 years.. decided by an endorsement and an ambassadorship..

every single establishment figure watching this tonight told their donors “the McConnell network is durable”.. every single one assumed the old machine had enough infrastructure to survive his retirement..

it didn’t survive a single election cycle..

not a scandal.. not a Democrat.. not a generational shift..

one endorsement.. one ambassadorship offer.. and 41 years of political infrastructure collapsed in an evening..

the quiet part nobody is saying out loud.. Trump didn’t just win a primary tonight.. he erased the last internal friction point inside the Senate Republican caucus without a single floor vote..

it’s only getting quieter from here..

My Guess is once the New Senate is sworn in in Jan 27 they will remove John Thune as Leader and install
a Trump Guy

PS..Likely the reason Trump is not going after Thune right now is he needs His war chest to be used to help Elect his guys in these open seats . Then …Kaboom
