The problem with McConnell and his buddies is they are afraid once the people see what can be accomplished by a president that actually gives a damn, they will be forever outed as the useless fucks they really are. Pres. Trump will have his way with the old whores and they hate him for it. View Quote |

The turtle is on his last ride, so he really doesn't care. The rest of the GOP should remember that DJT was elected because a large amount of voters were tired of politicians.

There is an argument to be made that electing a democrat for six years and then voting her out would be preferable to keeping McConnell. A junior democrat senator has far less power to screw the conservative agenda than McConnell. He has to go. Sometimes you have to take a step back to find a new path forward. View Quote |

His job is to sit in the middle? Lol no. Thats why he loses. His job is to advance the party platform and do what he said he will do. Can you name any significant conservative legislation that he is responsible for? The only good thing he accomplished was stonewalling the supreme court nomination, though I seriously think he would have been afraid to return home had he let obamas pick in there. The reason that conservatives lose is that liberals "ram partisan legislation down the country's throat" very well, and weaksauce republicans fight that fire with a squirt gun, and compromise when they are in power. The only logical explanation is that they like big government as much as the democrats do, they just cant campaign that way. Now that the democrat party is going full on socialist and cultural marxist, there is no such thing as "decent" legiislation if you compromise with them. Marxism and personal liberty are mutually exclusive concepts. He has to go. Even if it means a democrat replaces him. Clearly the conservative cause will be forever hamstringed as long as he is running it. Even if it means kentucky suffers for it. The stakes are too great for the status qou to continue. View Quote McConnell isn't going anywhere until he decides to retire. He is funded and answers to the rich elite. They will not let their power and control slip away. Same with Ryan. This last election when they started fundraising his primary opponents raised a couple hundred thousand, Ryan walked in with a 14 million dollar check from the rich elite. Everyone I know voted for McConnell but also hated voting for McConnell as not a single person I know liked him. But he is better than the alternative. If McConnel gets replaced then another GOPe RINO is going to be chosen by the GOPe to replace him. They will not let their power and control slip away. |

Ryan and McConnell are both corporate puppets. They will work against the average American on the border wall and trade deals.

"The President and I, and our teams, have been and continue to be in regular contact about our shared goals," McConnell said in a statement. "We are working together to develop tax reform and infrastructure legislation so we can grow the economy and create jobs; to prevent a government default; to fund the government so we can advance our priorities in the short and long terms; to pass the defense authorization and defense appropriations bills so we can support our troops and help implement an effective strategy against ISIL; to provide relief from Obamacare; and to continue our progress for our nation's veterans." The New York Times reported Tuesday McConnell and Trump have not spoken in weeks and held a profanity-laced shouting match over the phone after the Senate GOP failed to advance a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. McConnell, R-Ky., did not address the claim about the call in his statement. "We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we are committed to advancing our shared agenda together and anyone who suggests otherwise is clearly not part of the conversation," McConnell said. |

I never liked the turtle, but just out of curiosity I looked up his Wikipedia page (something I've started to do anytime I see someone saying retarded stuff). He is definitely the definition of a swamp critter- no real job history that doesn't include government and someone that has become exceedingly wealthy while only being employed in an elected position. He isn't much different than a republican version of Biden or Bernie.

McConnell and his buddies had better learn to set their egos aside and work with Trump, or they are going to get murdered in the next election. Their goal right now seems to be to obstruct Trump, and to prevent him from getting re-elected in 2020, not to help America fix the 8 years of Obama damage. That is a disastrous plan for the GOP, although it could be good in the long-term, if it allows for a third party to replace them.

The Republican leadership in Congress has totally failed at governing. They are nothing but a bunch of do nothings...inept, impotent, and emasculated worms of the highest order. Now they make common cause with the left and engage in useful idiocy. I have grown to despise some of these idiots just as much as the Democrats.

PPP has a poll showing Mitch McConnell at about 18% approval in Kentucky, and President Trump at roughly 60%. If I was Mitch McConnell I would look to my own future rather than trying to crow about the President's problems.

WRONG! No Senator Majority Leader is going to be primaried, never going to happen. So that leaves the Democrat that ran against McConnell, which is apparently who you wish was in McConnell's seat right now. She ran as a right leaning Democrat for the Senate but ended up as our Secretary of State instead. As Secretary of State she has refused to let any federal agency review any of the election records and just recently issued a huge new policy to all the county clerks on election procedures without authority and without talking to any of the clerks ahead of time. She is playing hard core liberal politics...and apparently you want her as our Senator because you think she will be more friendly to Republicans than Mitch. Mitch and Ryan should be replaced but the chances of removing the House or Senate leader in a primary is pretty much zero, given the money and influence they have. Both Mitch and Ryan were against Trump from the beginning. Their true colors have now been revealed without question and Trump isn't taking it sitting down. This will be an interesting showdown, if it even exists given the source of the quote. I will put my money on Trump, especially after the rally that he just gave.
