Mitch McConnell Considers Killing Major Immigration Deal To Help Trump

Senate Republicans are wracked with confusion about the status of a potential deal that would strengthen border policies and unlock aid for Ukraine after Mitch McConnell acknowledged the increasingly tough politics behind it.

The GOP leader's private admission of uncertainty on Wednesday about talks he had supported came at a critical time. Negotiators are struggling to lock down an agreement after months of back-and-forth, with former President Donald Trump and conservatives ramping up pressure to kill any deal ahead of the November election.


It's no secret McTurtle doesn't like Trump. But in the end he'll do what's best for the party over what's best for the country as he has always done.

99% of the time what is best for Republicans is the same as what is best for the country.
 
What capitulations to your side would make us "serious"?
The bill in the Senate GIVES you much of what you claim to want (huge curbs on asylum criteria)

But you aren’t serious

You want the ISSUE


Not a solution
 
Republicans have the biggest policy win on immigration in decades within their grasp, but Donald Trump is calling the shots now, so the deal is all but dead. In what’s been reported as a Senate Republican meeting Wednesday, leader Mitch McConnell told his colleagues he doesn’t “want to do anything to undermine” Trump.


So the Republicans have now guaranteed another year of uncontrolled immigration ( Their Words ), when a deal is in place right now to stop it.

With the blessings of the orange cult messiah.
To think that Moscow Mitch could have ended Trump's political career once and for all during the 2nd impeachment trial in Feb 2021...and now here is McConnell 3 years later pitifully and cravenly trying to prop up Trump's dying presidential bid.

Just so sad, so pathetic.
 
If McConnell does that, his candidates have to defend a straight anti-GOP position, and that will not go down well with their constituents.
