In the battle of Trump vs. McConnell, as much as I hate McConnell, I want him to win this particular fight. Allowing Trump to run roughshod over the Majority Leader, or sidelining him, is the beginnings of a dictatorship. Mitch may be a conniving, big-business SOB of a senator, but at least he respects the Constitution and the limits of his own power. Trump, OTOH, has no loyalty to the Constitution, the office of the President, the GOP, or even the voters. He’d be perfectly happy gutting Congress, so he could run the country like his own business, surrounded by yes-men and -women.

McConnell had better lay some traps for Trump to fall into, or our democracy will be in a hella trouble.
