This is good bad news, I think

 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell losing support?  

I'll vote "aye" for that.


52% of REPUBLICANS disapprove of Mitch McConnell: New poll shows Senate Minority Leader is one of the least popular U.S. leaders with Trump upping his bid to have him replaced


"Just 46 percent of McConnell's fellow Republicans approve of his job in the Senate, while a decisive 52-point majority disapprove.

The overwhelming dissatisfaction in the Senate's longest-serving GOP leader could leave him in a vulnerable position -- especially with Donald Trump and his supporters hammering away at McConnell's credibility for months.

...

McConnell has been a favorite punching bag of Trump's, who most recently called him a 'broken old crow' for voting in favor of Biden's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal and then allowing Democrats to raise the US debt limit.

In an interview with Fox less than 10 days ago, Trump declared: 'Mitch McConnell’s a disaster. The Republicans have to get a new leader.'

And in September, the Wall Street Journal had reported that Trump was making calls to allies in the Senate and other supporters to gauge if they too felt it was time for a leadership change."
With regard to that last part, it's been time for a leadership change for a LONG time. Not sure if Trump and his fellow crooks can get this done, but I sure wouldn't mind if he did.  Then they can go to jail.
