Until I see Mitch McConnell in person, speaking, I will not believe any of these reports of 20 minute phonecalls... [View all]

Trump and the Republicans will do anything they can get away with, and that is about anything they can think of.

We have seen AI audios of Bill Clinton that sounded so real, it would have been hard to tell it was AI if it had not been branded as such.

What's to prevent them from producing a 20-minute audio with canned responses to different issues? It would not be that difficult to do.

But why would Republicans even think of doing something like that?

Because of their slim majority in the Senate and also, Kentucky has a Democratic Governor that will name the next Senator if McConnell is no longer with us,

It may sound "off the wall" but I think it is very possible they would try something like that, even if he was dead.
