Trump or McConnell?
My personal opinion from a Canadian's and outsider's POV is that Trump comes out the winner on this one. Already most of Trump's supporters are declaring that Trump is NOT a Republican.
This leads to the conclusion that the Republican party is left holding the bag for Trump and has lost the needed support for fighting back against him.
There's a really big tusker elephant standing in the room already. The R party either gets support from the faithful or they decide to throw their support behind Trump.
And in the meantime, the D party can operate with impunity by considering that they have no opposition to their agenda.
Is that a correct analysis of the situation.
Fwiw, there is a general appearance of a breakdown of the US political system in progress. McConnell must be close to deciding just to end his misery by his own hand. (gun) That would be regrettable! The political right needs to be present after Trump is shown the door in January.
