Political Strategist: The ‘Trump Republicans Are Pliant and Follow Orders,’ Ready to Be Food for Mitch McConnell

EXCERPT:

KOMANDURI: "Yeah, it's all very much by design. I mean, we talked about last week how the Voting Rights Act would have been a long-term institutional investment in the future of the Republican Party. You most certainly would have increased the number of moderate Republicans who exist, because those moderate Republicans would have to exist, because market forces would force Republicans to go after young voters, more diverse voters, and then play in non-gerrymandered, non-partisan districts. That would have increased the number of moderate Republicans. However, Mitch McConnell doesn't want more moderate Republicans, he doesn't like the moderate Republicans. And as much as he claims to dislike Trump, boy, does he love the Trump Republicans. The reality is that Trump Republicans are pliant and they follow orders. You know, to put it in the movie terms, they may roar like the T-Rex in 'Jurassic Park,' but what they really are is that cowardly lawyer in the outhouse, ready to be food for the real monster, who is Mitch McConnell."
