They are not that concerned whether or not Mitch and his comrades keep their seats in November. If they had to choose, they would prefer that most of them be gone, would be my guess.
So Mitch and his Republican cheerleaders are doing their best to send out a warning call to Republican voters. "There is a good chance we will lose the Senate if good Republicans do not vote", they are saying.
Although Trump is a moron, most of his supporters believe McConnell is worse for our country. To them, McConnell and Ryan, to a large degree, are worthless. They need to be replaced. There is no guarantee that they will vote down the ticket, even if they do vote for Trump.
They are not voting for Trump because he is a good conservative or a loyal Republican. They are voting for Trump because he is not Mitch McConnell or Paul Ryan...

(6,866 posts)That's what happens when the Repuke Congress spends most of their time to try to repeal Obamacare 61 times in 4 years and fail every time.
That's more than once per month.
Maybe if they had passed actual bills that helped the middle class instead of trying to combat that big meanie in the White House, Trump would have never gotten a foothold.
