she was disappointing, but let's just stick with mitch mcconnell for a moment. mitch mcconnell knows what donald trump did on january 6th, he came very close, i think, to voting to convict him, to spare us this particular moment. the attacks on his wife, the attacks on him, and yet he's decided, as brendan points out, that this is what he has to do in order to win the senate. at some point, you would hope that there would be other republicans who would follow the example of liz cheney and say, there are some things that are more important than winning an election. there are some things more important than holding onto the seat. mitch mcconnell is over 80 years old, he's not running for re-election. he has nothing to lose. if there's ever a moment in which you say, this is right, this is wrong, this man poses a danger to the republic, i have watched him and i know what he will do. this will be the moment. the fact that mitch mcconnell is so immersed in this political cynicism, this endless loop of search for power, it is really a pathetic commentary. it's not new
