mitch mcconnell is a man of the senate and a party man. politics for him is first, second, and third. he'll get on board with the nominee. i don't think he'll do so with enthusiasm, but he wants to retake control of the senate. he recognizes a divided party is going to undermine his party's chances of taking back control of the senate. he wants the party singing with one voice about their nominee and will do that. look, mcconnell knows what happened in 2016 with trump created challenges for his party and he wants to be on board with walking away from the leadership with a majority rather than a minority. >>> shortly after announcing his retirement, the freedom caucus mocked mcconnell, writing on social media, quote, "our thoughts are with our democrat colleagues in the senate on the retirement of their co-majority leader mitch mcconnell." then they put, "d-ukraine."
