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

should not be surprising in the words of mitch mcconnell, that he is endorsing donald trump. >> when he went to the senate floor and announced that he was going to be stepping down her he said, i have many faults but misunderstanding politics is not one of them. and i think that is absolutely true. he cares about one thing right now, that is winning back the senate, and he understands that a divided party is bad and therefore endorsing trump is good. he knows it would be a huge distraction and he would has to be asked about it all the time and he would rather just get that out of the way. he understands that this is what not only republican voters one but it's what the rest of the conference is doing and he understands if he were to stage a fight within the conference, a, he would lose because voters are with trump clearly but also he would distract them from his one and only goal, i think he could go either way on who the president is but if it gets in the way of taking back the senate, he will do whatever it takes. it's politics and that's what he knows best and that's what he care
