If he can wave away Trump’s outrageous “death wish” comments in the name of power, it’s a no-brainer that he’d be willing to overlook the obvious unfitness of GOP hopefuls like Walker, whose hardline antiabortion position has been seriously undermined by recent that he had paid for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion a decade ago and urged her to get another. “I think we’re going to stick with Walker,” McConnell confirmed, adding that he talks to the former football star “fairly often.”It’s not exactly surprising that the top Republican in the Senate would stand by a Republican candidate for Senate — especially in a race that could determine which party controls the chamber for the next two years.
