But he does not support Trump so he is a RINO. Remember real Republicans support every claim made by Trump. Any deviation from that orthodoxy means you are a RINO.
No. Sabotaging your own Party's President while he is in office is no indication of leadership. In this past midterms, he took Party support away from Trump-endorsed candidates for RINOs, at which point Dems jumped onto the anti-Trump hay wagon to strangle more popular candidates in hopes their own Dem candidates could beat the ones McConnell pushed. McConnell doesn't much care whether Biden stays in office - after all they both are supplicants to China.
BTW: Yossarian22C - you cannot actually not know all the great things Trump accomplished with all the Dems, Complicit Media, Education, Unions, Hollywood, and Never-Trumpers sabotaging his every action. Look at this list.
