When it happens, of course, MSM will point to reason (4) and say “Trump pushed him out,” even though it’s only part of the story.

Do people really think McConnell is going to serve as Minority Leader through the election, then hand over his power to a successor in January? I don’t. I suspect he’ll be gone as leader sooner rather than later. 1) He’s old 2) He’s now a lame duck 3) He fucked up bigtime… https://t.co/GYvOB3Sr4P

Part of the panic is Biden seems deluded about what will put him back on top. “[I]t was clear the president believes the politics of the [immigration] issue had changed more in Democrats favor in the weeks since the bipartisan immigration deal failed.” https://t.co/1xN1YWu32q

I guess it’s possible MSNBC simply felt Biden’s “pass the bill” immigration speech wasn’t directed at *their audience,* which probably doesn’t want to hear about the border at all these days. But they’ve mocked Republicans for blocking the bill in the past https://t.co/G4xE0B839n
