Getting real about the middle of the country. We are having conversations in separate Americas. It is thanks to trump and FNC that the Confederacy has risen and won the war after a period of 150 years. Congratulations!

Now owners on the right, slaves to the left.

In a post-mortem election phone call, McConnell noted to Trump that the rest of the statewide Republican ticket in Kentucky won with broad margins, and that the problems seemed to be confined to the candidate, those people said. As governor, the abrasive Bevin battled with teachers, denigrated the media and fought with legislators of his own party.

McConnell relayed a similar message to a group of Senate chairmen on Wednesday in a private meeting, when the majority leader argued that the Bevin race was a lot closer because of Trump’s last-minute efforts, and that the quality of a candidate mattered, according to a Republican senator in attendance.

Despite starkly different demeanors and initial skepticism of one another, Trump and McConnell have developed one of the most powerful alliances in Washington that continues to endure, despite political setbacks like Bevin’s apparent loss.

Once distrustful of McConnell, Trump has come to respect him and speaks with him frequently, according to people familiar with their relationship. The majority leader freely doles out advice to the president; at a White House meeting in October, those people said, McConnell encouraged Trump to be careful with his interactions with GOP senators because many aren’t up for reelection next year, while all members of the House are.
