Sen. McConnell: How I helped Trump win the White House

[Jazzhead]

A lot of people right here support his point...the SCOTUS pick did it.

I think this makes sense -  the line in the sand drawn by McConnell made this election, for many conservatives, all about preserving the balance of the Court.   While this politicization no doubt inspired some Dems to get to the polls,  for the Dems the Court wasn't the life or death issue it was for conservatives,  because conservatives were facing an existential loss. 

The NeverTrumps mostly came home to the GOP on election day.   I have to think that the SCOTUS was a big reason for that.

That was my reason. I don't regret it.


Imagine Hillary with a majority liberal court.


Fun thought. 


Still don't like Trump.

Yes, but it wasn't McConnell  who stuck his neck out and announced he was going to vote for Trump after meeting with him and receiving assurance that he would nominate a justice from the 'list' ... it was Ted Cruz! If it weren't for Cruz sticking his neck out I don't think as many would have come home to the GOP.  In no way do I think McConnell's refusal to nominate Scalia's replacement before the next Congress was his brainchild.  The Turtle isn't that smart. The only thing the Turtle wanted to do was to make sure the he saved his seat...he sure as heck didn't do it for party.  The Turtle is now trying to proclaim he saved the day ... my response to the Turtle ... the flying fickle finger of fate award!

Well, there's a finger involved which may be defined as flying, depending on your vigor.
