That's the difference though. McConnell is old guard Republican. Far-right, but in a stodgy, slow kind of way that builds strategic alliances where needed. Trump's far right is utterly impulsive, guided by pure emotion, and completely unfettered in their hatred.

Trump is dangerous for so many reasons that at this point its difficult to even try to list them all.
