I expect McConnell, being the consummate power pragmaticist, will start making conciliatory overtures to Biden.
No more "you will not pass anyone/anything I do not approve of" nonsense... He will pragmatically appear to be working with, while he lays his traps.

I have a concern that Schumer is not up to the task. He has been outmaneuvered by McConnell for years,mostly sputtering outrages wo much effect.
If he is driven by ego, especially if empowered by personal revenge, as his "mission", however deep inset, it will be disastrous.

We are about to see some amazing plays made on the public stage. Many, probably most of them, will not be obvious what is happening. But what we get to see will be the proverbial iceberg...only the end point of whatever is in play.

We need our public servants, as well as our best commentators, like @SteveSchmidtSES and so many others, from all points on the political spectrum, to keep us informed, not of the kabuki we see, but the plotlines we do not.

The nation is imperiled. It is my opinion that this election is a milestone, a major and necessary battle won. But by no means is this battle, this #TrumpsWarOnAmerica, done.

In metaphorical terms this is the Battle of Midway. It changes everything, especially the structure of

the battle lines. But it is only a shift. As then, it took years more to work out the win.
It has been well said that defeating Trump was necessary. And that it the simple task compared to defeating Trump-ism.

McConnell was not a Trumpie. He used Trump for his power purposes. As we have seen he will abandon Trump, deftly, he wants to retain the power of Trumpism after all, and will reorganize his battle plans to take account for the new realities.

That is the difference between a despotic leader, enthralled with himself, and the forces that understand how to use him, and the movement he is the figurehead of.

Watch closely.
We are about to watch a new telling of the Scorpion Story.
