and didn t spend money, and it was mitch mcconnell and mitch mcconnell s operation that actually was funding these horrible candidates that donald trump himself straddled the republican party with. absolutely. as mitch mcconnell said right there, he did say back in the summer our candidate quality stinks. he didn t say stinks, but that s what he meant talking about candidate quality. we have to do better. now that he s on the other side of the midterm elections and the republicans blew what should have been a layup in taking the senate in an off year with high inflation and a relatively unpopular president with approval ratings in the low 40s, now he s using trump s name and saying it out loud. you do wonder if these poll numbers we see about donald trump s approval plummeting and others like ron desantis being favorites over trump, if some republicans will find their courage and say now we can step out and say what we ve all been saying privately, that donald trump is a problem for
