Trump is likely to escalate the MitchHate as much as he can given that he lacks the Twitter and Facebook platforms, and some dedicated worshipers are likely to try to please their greasy god by trying to take Mitch down by violence. Taking Mitch down by anything else is unlikely to succeed, though. He wouldn’t have made his anti-Trump statement after his acquittal vote unless he believed Trump’s influence was going in one direction: down, down, down. As time passes, Mitch will go on working toward becoming Majority Leader again, and Trump will have lost major face among his dimwitted followers----because Mitch is just fine, and all Donald can do about it is fret and fume. Followers of bullies require that their bullies be powerful. And Trump’s newly-declared war on Mitch, which he will lose, will reveal just how powerless he really is. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > oh no. trump is attacking mitch and it is hurting the republican party. please. stop. I think a good strategy for the Democrats right now would be to start supporting Mitch in some symbolic yet non committal way, such that the Republican party schism deepens, rather than stand on the sidelines and let things happen more slowly and naturally. They need to actively help push Trump further to the margin - this will accomplish a couple things: ensuring Trump continues losing power and influence, and allowing more space in the Republican party for members to distance themselves from Trump and start getting back to their core conservative positions (not necessarily ones that I support, but at least that are not whackadoodle) as well as the ability to compromise with the Democrats. ---

> [@snowthx](#): > > I think a good strategy for the Democrats right now would be to start supporting Mitch in some symbolic yet non committal way Imma stop you right there, pal. I get what you’re saying about potential political advantages to such a strategy, but I think they are outweighed by the fact that McConnell is a hypocritical unprincipled turd, and Democrats should not align themselves with him. We can openly endorse any particular thing that McConnell says that we actually agree with, that’s only reasonable. But Democrats should save their active support for people and policies that are worth supporting. In particular, let us stay the hell out of the Republican Party reality-TV soap opera that Trump is so thrilled about engaging in. On this side of the aisle, we are grownups with a lot of important work to get done while the Trumpublicans are doing their drama-queen schtick. ---
