re: Republicans plead with Trump to leave Barr alone

having to handle a new nominee amid Trump's interference with DOJ would be unwelcome in GOP circles and require vulnerable senators to take a potentially tough confirmation vote

Remarkable cowardice!

Mitch McConnell needs to either retire or at minimum step down from his leadership role. He is and has always been a giant pussy.

If he and the party are afraid that if he retires that his seat would fall to a Dem, fine. But at least step down as majority leader.

Leaders shouldn’t be cowardly pussies.

The leftward trajectory of American politics over the course of my lifetime is due in no small part to cowardice just like that consistently exhibited by McConnell.

People are better persuaded by a confident defense of a controversial position than a a tepid defense of a popular position, and certainly more so than a mere avoidance of having to espouse a position at all.

Grow a pair Mitch or GTFO of the way.


For clarification, I’m neither pro nor anti-Barr. I am becoming weary though with some of what has come out in recent weeks.

If Mitch is going to ask the President to back off away from Barr, it should be because he has confidence in Barr, not because he’s afraid to vote on a replacement.

The reasoning behind why these Senators are begging Trump to leave Barr alone is very telling.
