The third component of the Republican strategy is also very evident in McConnell’s comments. While his recent remarks were a stern, if surreal, warning to the “CEOs of America,” he was reminding Republican voters and members of Congress that it is still Trump’s party and he is willing to accept that. McConnell’s true feelings about Trump may well be complex as suggested, for example, in his comments following the impeachment trial, but that is precisely why it is important for his own political future that he convince Republican voters and leaders that he recognizes Trump’s role in the party.
