But, of course, Mitch has neither.
While you are definitely correct here, there's also a huge money aspect.

Big money donors are pulling out from supporting GOP candidates. Mitch hates to see that money go away. If he's gotta sell Trump up the river to get that sweet Comcast money back, he absolutely will.
