I have to hand it to Joe Scarborough who coined the nickname of "Moscow Mitch" for Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell who won’t let any bills on cybersecurity be voted on.
Wittingly or unwittingly, McConnell is a Russian asset, but it is hard to see that McConnel is acting unwittingly. On this, I am in agreement with Dana Milbank.*
American's problem is not solely Donald Trump. Moscow Mitch is an even bigger problem to American security.
I wonder if any foreign country will try to get a Democrat elected in 2020 now that it seems to be all right with Moscow Mitch to have foreign countries interfere in our elections. I suspect that Iran might favor a Democratic candidate though they seem to prefer just messing up things at this time. Boy, isn't that a choice, to be governed either by Russia or Iran? Perhaps China whom I doubt likes Trump at all. Other possibilities are France and perhaps Germany. I don't know yet about the UK.
Other countries may favor Trump. Saudi Arabia comes to mind as well as Israel that is ecstatic over our embassy being moved to Jerusalem by Trump. American Jews, however, greatly favor the Democratic Party. For example, there are no Jewish Republican Senators but there are 22 Jewish Democratic Senators, including the minority leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer.** Twenty-six members of the House are Jewish and only two are Republican.**
