Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are working hard to tear the Republican Party apart, with or without Trump. They were more concerned with getting rid of Cruz and Conservatives than they were Trump. I believe that it was Mitch McConnell’s former campaign advisor who came up with the Ted’s a liar campaign slogan as pay back for exposing Mitch McConnell’s lies on the floor of the Senate.
I think that McConnell and Ryan were trying to do the same thing to Trump that they did to Marco Rubio, alienate him from Conservatives.
Marco’s own dirty deeds alienated him from conservatives.
