For the country, maybe, but not for Mitch McConnell. Trump is the perfect president for Mitch. Trump’s two big victories as president have been the tax cut — organized and pushed through to law by Mitch McConnell — and a raft of new conservative federal judges.

It’s really the McConnell era, and we ought to be discussing that every day, particularly whenever Donald Trump is within earshot.
