Mitch McConnell and other mainstream Republicans are starting to attack Donald Trump. What they don’t understand is, they are probably helping him with his base.
Trump to Establishment Enemies: Thanks!

Let’s not forget the contribution to Trump’s re-election that the democratic apparatchiks are performing. The Jan. 6 Hearings (the New Coke of 21st Century Politics) have concluded. Conclusion: Trump’s no dope. A talented lawyer can muddy the waters sufficiently. The whole thing’s about as defective as a dead puppy on Christmas morning (note to self: next time, put air holes in the box before you slip it under the tree). It’ll never stick, and even if it does, Trump will never go to prison. The political equivalent of wedding night “jitters.”
On the other hand, when the Republicans start investigating Joe Biden, four seconds after being sworn in, for what he knew about Hunter’s side gig and when he knew it, oh, that will be Fox’s new schedule, 24/7 except for Animation Domination and the Sunday sports programs.
