Maybe. Maybe he's realized Trump is destroying the party. Seriously, if not for his advocating the $2000 stimulus checks days before the GA run off and his "Don't vote for republicans who aren't loyal enough to me" comments, Trump could very easily be the reason McConnell isn't going to be the majority leader in the senate anymore. And he knows it.
Not to mention, these are the Republican president's supporters who rioted and stormed the capitol and he has to play damage control for his party. If the GOP has to pay for this in the next few elections, he'll probably never live to see another republican majority.
Anyway, am I the only one here who's more than a little scared what's going to happen tomorrow? I know Biden is going to limit the size of his inauguration because of covid, but there are still going to be a lot of angry, unstable, well-armed Trumpanzees out there and, apparently, there are a lot of cops on their side. Some of the lunatics have military backgrounds. What do you think a well trained sniper could do? Not just tomorrow, but for the next several months, Biden is going to have a bullseye on his back because of some very unstable people.
I doubt that Biden is in very much more danger than any other American President. Ronald Reagan was crazy popular and got shot. Obama was a black man in a racist country and didn’t get shot.
If a nutter is going to get to Biden, it’ll happen.
