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?

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...

It's no wonder that McConnell with the health issues he's dealt with is retiring.
