That's the difference between him and McConnell.
McConnell will get transactional and will grow a pair when there's something really on the line, like the appeals court filibuster.
Listen, I'm not a McConnell guy, never have been.
It's the most important move a Senate majority leader has made in the last 100 years, 100%.
I don't care how much you hate McConnell.
There is zero disputing that altered the direction of the country, Roe v. Wade and everything.
But again, I think it was a political calculation at the time that likely could have been done earlier.
And I think the difference between McConnell and Trump too, is that Trump's, McConnell's like a counter puncher.
He's gotta wait for the politics to come his way.
And I understand he's dealing with votes.
He's gotta whip stuff, right?
But Trump will just throw it out there.
And really, I think it's just that, can he be a bit impulsive?
Yeah, I think that's an understatement.
I don't think anybody doubts that.
But I think people see like, wow, that's different.
I've never seen that before.
Good, like let's move the Overton window in our direction.
Democrats do it all the time.
I mean, they're impulsive every single day.
