Kash Patel will be a nightmare if he is in charge of the FBI. He is a Fanatic Yes Man for President Problem Child. He has an Enemies List but there are four GOP Senators — I would argue -- who are on a double secret enemies list: Senators Murkowski, Collins, Cassidy and McConnell.
Murkowski. Collins & Cassidy voted GUILTY at Donny’s last impeachment trial. McConnell did not vote to convict but he voted against the Hegseth nomination. The hateful, unhinged Commander in Chief holds grudges forever. He would order Patel to go after them for those actions.
Murkowski, Collins and Cassidy are up for election in 2026. In Louisiana, Cassidy would run in a Jungle Primary, Murkowski would run in a ranked choice election in Alaska and Collins will run in a ranked choice election in Maine. Trump can’t primary them in a typical GOP Primary like they have in most States. They will at least finish second in the first go round. They will probably retain their Seats.
McConnell is getting a bit too old and freezes up occasionally. He may be at a point in his life to get out of the race. IMO, I doubt he cares for Trump if he ever did. If he knows it is his last term, he will not fear Trump’s threats.
In the future — like a month from now — Orange Hitler will be immensely unpopular and will be polling badly. Bacon and eggs will be higher than today. All foods that require low-cost immigrant labor to keep prices down will be much higher. His recently announce tariffs against Canadian and Mexican imports will be paid for by American consumers. The President will create more chaos in our society with his sledgehammer tactics on all other issues.
The four GOP Senators should be aware that they don’t want to be seen as Trump Enablers in the near or distant future. To protect their political careers, they need to oppose Trump now.
I doubt they would do this to save our Constitutional Government, but it is the smart political move.
