Mitch McConnell further speculated that Trump's approval record wouldn't be so dismal if he could bring himself to stick to the script. For McConnell to say that publicly I think points to to two things 1) that there is friction between Republicans and Trump and 2) that McConnell is laying the groundwork to appear in opposition to Trump for the eventual impeachment

The McConnell begging Trump to stay on message plays to their true goals I think. The Republicans have no interest in impeachment for any reason. They've proven they have no intention of governing in any sort of bipartisan fashion and an impeachment only damages their brand. Regardless of what Don does they won't act until it's either too late or they manage to dig so deeply the only way out is the other side.
