Yes, McConnell and Ryan cannot deliver with their Republican majorities and should resign or be replaced. Trump should use his bully pulpit as president and leader of the party to demand they go.

I am far less concerned about McConnell than Ryan.

There’s no conservative who can pull strings with Ryan where needed, but there is one who has massive leverage over McConnell.

I’m fine with tolerating the turtle for now.

Assume Sen. McConnell and Rep. Ryan are removed from their positions by extraordinary Senate and House procedures. Whom do you expect to replace those two, and what, specifically, do you anticipate they will do to pass what specific legislation?

As we discussed this morning, you have to add McMaster to this urgent “To do” list.

Pipe dream, McConnell & Ryan aren’t going anywhere. Obviously the only thing that is going to have an impact is some primary loses. Starting with McTraitors brother Flake.

When a Democrat leader of either the House & Senate issues an edict on how will Senators vote on issue, every Democrat falls into line.

And they did, see John McCain

Biggest failure of leadership I’ve ever seen. McConnell and Ryan both deserve immediate removal.

Speaker of the House does not have to be a current member of Congress. Appoint Newt.

F U Mitch McConnell and your “long game” epic fail.

There is an old rule in politics - “You cannot beat somebody with nobody”.

Are there ANY prospects of a Freedom Caucus member stepping up to challenge Paul Ryan in the House, or any of the more conservative Republican Senators stepping up to challenge McConnell?

And once they succeed in their challenges, have they got the personal charisma and authoritative manner sufficiently imposing to move and unify otherwise orthopedically challenged (those lacking backbone) members of their respective chambers?

Democrats never seem to have a problem enforcing party discipline.

IMHO...if the Republican Caucuses do not remove both McConnell & Ryan...the Republican caucus will split, and a new major party Conservative party will be born. Neither Ryan or McConnell can lead their way out of a paper bag. Both are one hundred percent “Never Trumpers” & and one hundred percent GOP Establishment.

The rapidly approaching 2018 Mid-Term elections are coming on fast. We, Conservatives, have the golden opportunity to “Primary” the scum & vermin establishment of the Republican party. We must work harder then we did in 2016 to elect a massive conservative Senate and House, and do all possible, legally to totally destroy the entire Democrat “traitor” party, politically.

Otherwise, good folks...GAME OVER!!!

I don’t know about Mitch, but Ryan is completely secure as his congressional district loves him. As Speaker? You need to ask every Republican in the House save one who voted him into that job.

What’s the point in engaging in these fantasies that you know have zero probability of happening? Just like to hear people say “Yeah, he’s gotta go!”?

McConnell needs to exercise his power. Murkowski should be put on some other committee as a Jr member and her chairmanship should be given to the other republican senator, the same with Collins give it to someone else. There needs to be consequences. God is taking care of the McCain problem

Let me answer you this way. If a good sports team is not winning...who goes, not the players most of the time, the coach or coaches go out the door!!! You pay a leader to lead and win...not lose!!! End of story!!!

Unfortunately the President can't fire them.

McLoser must be fired first

Elected officials require their electors to dump them.

Trump needs to get rid of obozo holdovers and anyone who supports them

What I hope no one missed is that Trump’s rally in Youngstown Ohio was grand theater, showing those two clowns that he has very strong popular support exactly because the deep state is so rabid in undermining the common good.
