1/ It's good to see more focus on McConnell - who's singularly responsible for Trump's political existence and persistence - and his motives & tactics. Motive is easy; he's so freakin' evil

But tactics? He just says no. That's not brilliant. He doesn't strike me as talented

2/ Evil seems brilliant to non-depraved people b/c we'd never think of those 'solutions', it seems creative & unexpected. But McC would be more successful if he didn't love bayoneting wounded innocents

There's another wrinkle though: McC (& most of the GOP) are cowards

3/ It's a rare person who has steel in their spine & who can handle the pressure of life & death. I've felt McC has been paralyzed & overwhelmed by this moment more than anything

Compare to Warren or Obama (even Hillary) who seem to have guts. They handled their moments

4/ Cowardice is the lowest ethic. It means that you believe yourself over others, it's greed plus dishonor

The GOP is a party of cowards, and that's why they now venerate the biggest coward in our history: Trump (ym'sh)

Treason is cowardice, he's a traitor
