WTF, Mitch?

Mitch McConnell is a lot of bad things - dumb is not one of them.

But he'd have to be pretty dumb to endorse Lord Commander Apricot at a time when Trump can't really do anything to hurt him if he doesn't.

McConnell has announced that he'll be stepping down from his leadership position, and it's more than just a bit likely that he'll be out of politics altogether pretty soon. So - WTF, Mitch?

I think maybe Mitch knows (or is confident) that Trump's going down in flames this year, so he's being cagey and strategic. He'll endorse Trump as a seeming gesture for "party unity", so that when Trump does crash-n-burn, the old guard Republicans can reclaim what's left of the GOP, and resume the plutocracy project in their usual, sneaky, underhanded, fuckery-dependent way.

Or, he's just bailing on another chance to be a leader - same as he's done before - hoping the voters will do his dirty work for him.

Just a wild guess.
