That may be, but at the same time, he has to know that Trump has brought his party to ruin.

I'm pretty sure he knows. The real question is if he has the intellectual honesty to admit that the propaganda machine and hysteria that he was part of stoking was what begat Trump.

That's the problem with most of these company men, so far as I've seen- the Hogans and the Sununus and so on. They can admit Trump is bad, many of them privately confess to loathing him. But they keep up the game of "Sure we have problems on our side, but the other side is pure, unadulterated evil that must be opposed at all costs."

That sort of framing inevitably gives us the current circumstance.

"Sure, Trump tried to overthrow the United States government and got people killed, but abortion." That sort of calculation? You really have to be up your own ass to use the word "but" in situations like the one McConnell finds himself in.
