NYT: McConnell, in Private, Doubts if Trump Can Save Presidency (Paywall)
What was once an uneasy governing alliance has curdled into a feud of mutual resentment and sometimes outright hostility, complicated by the position of Mr. McConnell’s wife, Elaine L. Chao, in Mr. Trump’s cabinet...
This is not the War of the Roses, by Jesus.
It's a pissing contest between geezer Cæsars.
Donald's three-score-eleven, Mitch is seventy-five.
What have they in common? Younger foreign-born wives.
McConnell's second, Trump's third.
(Sanc-tit-y of marriage? Do not be absurd!)
Back in aught-eight, did not Mitch present
an argument for a one-term president?
That didn't work out, but it is clear
since that failed, he will now persevere.
(And damn it to hell,
let's, in this, wish him well.)
