Contributing sentiments towards policy:
51% : The result was that all his winning may have come with catastrophic consequences, at home and abroad, should Trump return to the presidency.35% : Shortly after the election, McConnell emphasized that Trump was "100 percent within his right" to legally contest the results.
34% : He appears to have recognized that his relationship with the former president is too fraught for him to lead the Senate GOP if Trump returns to office; hence his decision to step down.
30% : He's even reportedly been engaged in backchannel talks about endorsing Trump.
29% : Maybe Trump would complain about NATO, but the GOP Senate and the nominees needing Senate approval would keep him in line.
28% : Maybe Trump would spread nonsense about voter fraud, but the GOP Senate would confirm Biden's win.
25% : But Trump worked against that cause, and the Ukraine aid bill remains stalled in the House.
22% : We will never know for sure if McConnell could have turned the tide and gotten Trump convicted in his 2021 Senate impeachment trial.
21% : If Trump were impeached and convicted, he could be barred from holding office again.
17% : Once McConnell got his majority (in the 2014 midterms), his next goal was to elect a Republican president -- hence his blanket refusal to consider any Obama nominee to the late Justice Antonin Scalia's Supreme Court seat, and hence his accommodation with the rise of Donald Trump.
15% : McConnell's team soon leaked that the leader welcomed the impeachment effort and now wanted to "purge" Trump from the party.
