I'm enjoying watching all the Republicans trying to squirm and squiggle their way out of having to back Trump, the jokester non-politician who puts his foot in his mouth constantly. It's quite a show.
It's kind of interesting to see just how desperate they are to have full control over the federal government. All they are missing now is a Republican president, who they want to rubber stamp their conservative agenda and fill the federal judiciary with conservative judges.
They are so desperate for that that they will support a terrible unqualified bigot like Trump. That's how little McConnell cares about the long-term well-being of his country. It's all about winning for him. Always has been. He is the ultimate establishment hack.
The interesting thing about McConnell is that he is married to a woman who is a US citizen, but who was born in Taiwan. So how is it that he would support trump with the racism/bigotry that he spews ? And how can he go home to her every night with a clear conscious ?
What is her opinion of trump ? (It cant be good)
Conservative-leaning immigrants can easily be some of the smuggest and most extreme on this issue, for what it's worth. The whole "well, I did it legally" shtick emerges more often than you'd think...despite the fact that in many cases, their path to citizenship was either relatively simple (like marriage) or completely unique (like Cubans). The fact that she is conservative, wealthy and a politico in her own right makes me think she's not bothered by it one bit.
This, however, is the theme Trump uses with his core constituencies. They are folks that believe that they have "played by the rules" and have gotten the shaft, and Trump has helped then believe that the Clintons have been the "shaft providers".
