Let&#8217;s not forget that Trump also trashed former Vice President Mike Pence because Pence didn&#8217;t do Trump&#8217;s bidding, which would have required him to violate the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>I ask this about Mitch because of something McConnell said about Trump shortly after The Donald left the presidency. He said &#8212; and this is astonishing &#8212; that he would &#8220;absolutely&#8221; support Trump were he to become the GOP&#8217;s 2024 presidential nominee.<\/p>\n<p>He threw his support behind Trump after declaring that ex-POTUS was responsible for the Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill, that he &#8220;provoked&#8221; the mob of terrorists to storm the Capitol Building and prevent the counting of Electoral College votes certifying the election of Joe Biden as the next president.<\/p>\n<p>So, McConnell endorses a possible &#8212; but in my view highly unlikely &#8212; Trump presidential candidacy.
