re: #200 Targetpractice

She’s already bowed out, last I checked. His whole bit now is about saving his ass in the face of a very likely party primary. Making himself a “victim” of a grand liberal plot would make him somewhat sympathetic to the party base, but that’s unlikely. Really, the best McConnell could have done is keep his yap shut or even trying to convince folks that the contents of the meeting had been considered but rejected as unconscionable. Instead, he’s just made himself look like a whiny brat, as well as a bald-faced liar if it’s found out that the leak came from within his own office.

but he’s a republican so iokiyar and his base will fail to notice anything happened
