(7,820 posts)Doing everything in his power to punish Blue States for voting Blue. And proudly saying so. We donor states are getting sick and tired of the minority tyranny. We have more people and more economic power and were not gonna let you kill and starve us for not voting your way,

(33,400 posts)What he does is put out multiple lies wrapped in a simple, generalized Senate-speak statement. "Dems are playing politics on this bill, preventing aid from getting to Amurkins".
Then liberals fall all over themselves explaining the minutiae of how and why he's wrong/lying/FOS.
His purpose is to derail honest debate, to make Dems react from anger, which he can then point to as evidence we're emotional and unreasonable.

(111,342 posts)as Majority Leader. I imagine she'll shut his procedural shenanigans down very quickly. He'll be sitting there impotent and fuming, possibly while there are hearings on his dealings with Deripaska and the sweetheart deals his wife has made and will face censure and expulsion.
Most of the Kentuckians I know are sensible people who have thoroughly loathed him for many years. They complain about a certain fatalism there that says as bad as he is, someone else will likely be worse so they go for the devil they know. In addition, there are a lot of people who get suckered by his Senator Cornpone Crackerbarrel act, jes plain folks and he loves y'all.
Defeated or neutered, both are acceptable outcomes.

Mind you - I am about 20 miles West of Lexington, but it is still rural and definitely Trump country. Already seen commercials of idiots stating they remain with Trump, but will vote against Moscow Mitch.
Fingers crossed and all that....
