It is so encouraging to see that, after a dozen or so years of a rapidly destabilizing and increasingly unhinged Democratic Party, our fearless Republican leaders are carrying on the Grand Ol' Party's modern tradition of simply having no earthly idea what its conservative base cares about:
[Kentucky Sen. Mitch] McConnell held a press conference on Tuesday, flanked by GOP senators, to discuss the pending $40 billion aid package for Ukraine that is likely to be voted upon sometime this week.
"I think we all agree the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine," McConnell told reporters. "I had a chance to call the president last week and request that the Ukraine package move by itself and quickly. He said, let me think it over. He called back in about 15 minutes and agreed that we need to do this for Ukraine only, and quickly.
Give a big round of applause to ol' Cocaine Mitch for aligning his political interests squarely with the desperate, failing, utterly inept Democratic president's:
It's true that conservative voters are not that motivated by the Ukrainian/Russian conflict. But it goes beyond that: Most voters, period, are not:
According to a poll conducted by Trafalgar Group, the American people are far more concerned with other issues facing the nation than they are with Ukraine.
That poll, taken between April 24 and April 27, surveyed 1,080 likely voters. It found that 38.5% of respondents say that "lower inflation and fixing the economy" is the most important issue in the 2022 elections. Nearly 16% of respondents said "addressing climate change" was their top concern, while 11% said "securing the border" was the most important issue. Just 6.5% said that "ending the Russia/Ukraine war" was the most important.
That's another way of saying that Mitch McConnell isn't just going against the grain of his base, he's going against the grain of every base.
Republicans who support this transparent effort of deflection by the Biden administration must be hoping voters don't pick up on it in time to sabotage the looming Red Wave in November!
