John Thune was hand picked by McConnell to succeed him. McConnell’s body is not cooperating but his mind is still sharp and calculating which is why he is still the chair of the rules committee. Translation he knows the rules of the Senate better than anyone.

Trump is under the impression that the “Save Act” will “save” him in the midterms. That’s nonsense of course but I digress.
But let’s for the moment say that’s true. Then he is thoroughly screwed because
Leader Thune has shelved the Save Act indefinitely.

The person in DC who hates Trump with the whitest hot intensity is…McConnell. McConnell will take Trump down on his way out the door when he retires from the senate.

FYI Elaine Chao is Mitch’s wife.
Elaine’s father runs a global shipping business that does multiple billions of dollars of business of which 72% is shipped to China. Do you think Mitch might have a connection or two high up the food chain in China who also might like to see the backside of Trump?
Trump once called Elaine Chao, his own former labor secretary a…China lover.

McConnell is going to take Trump down you can take that to the bank
