Crazy candidates have been ruining GOP chances since at least 2012 with the second Tea Party wave. Leadership kind of understands this but rarely does anything about it, but in reality, their primary voters are so crazy & bloodthirsty that they constantly select the loudest & craziest candidate that gets the slightest bit of traction. Leadership also knows that they can't do anything about it because of the fear of their mouthpieces in the media turning on them & calling for a primary challenge. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Only one opinion but yes I believe that McConnell would have eliminated Trump if possible but after realizing he didn't have the necessary votes, he backed away
I def think the chief reason he backed away was because of his own personal reasons that aren't going to be clear until the tell all book. I believe if he had pushed for impeachment at least the establishment wing of the party would joined his vote...
The customer (in this case, Republican voters) is always right.
It's important to note what that phrase really means. If you want to buy an ill-fitting, out-of-fashion suit made of poor-quality, mismatched fabrics that would literally see you laughed out of the room, it's not the salesman's job to convince you otherwise.

And now Ken Buck is one of the more reasonable Republicans!
Remember when Paul Ryan was considered a very-extreme Republican? Sigh!
It's crazy ain't it; Liz Cheney and Paul Ryan are our allies against Trump (dogs and cats living together; mass hysteria!!)
Yup, and Dick Cheney – never mind that he ought to be tried at The Hague.
To his credit; McConnell has long been pushing back against this, but he's found himself helpless against Trump's hold on the crazies
Much of this might have been avoided had Mitch McConnell the courage to strongly push for conviction in Trump’s second impeachment case.
Agreed; I just believe he knew he didn't have the necessary votes
Interesting. So you think that's why he caved on Trump, not because he realized it would cause all the Republican incumbents to lose primaries?

It's no wonder that McConnell with the health issues he's dealt with is retiring.
I would go back to 2010 when Harry Reid was able to beat Sharron Angle.
