Short and Sweet - With the overwhelming, massive defeat last evening of Luther Strange, the "darling lap dog of the Senate Republican Establishment, RINO Leader", "FAILED, HATE TRUMP", Mitch McConnell, delivered by Trump Conservative Republican, Judge Roy Moore, after McConnell spent $30,000,000 million dollars, trying to save flawed Luther Strange. Mitch McConnell must be fired, today as leader of the Republican Senate Caucus.
McConnell is two things, a total loser, do nothing & a most ardent hater of POTUS, Donald J. Trump. Senators...Broom him into forever obscurity, where he belongs!!! Let the PRIMARIES against Establishment Republicans RINOs begin in full force!!!
Bravo....and, Congratulations, JUDGE, Roy Moore!!!
You know Mitch McConnell is gay, right?
Yes it has.
What did you make of Corker's comment yesterday, announcing that he would not run again in 2018: “I also believe the most important public service I have to offer our country could well occur over the next 15 months”.
I think the swamp creatures have a plan to remove Trump before the voters have a chance to replace them.
Corker is a zero. He had no choice, he either retired or he would get politically slaughtered in a primary as any and all Republican Establishment RINOs will.
Steve Bannon & Breitbart, etc., and, their allies is a most powerful political force and movement to be dealt with. they will bring forth many victories for Trump & MAGA!!!
I could see spending that kind of money defeating a democrat.
But a conservative republican tells one what they are all about.
Republican Senators broom & dump Mitch McConnell today. Let the primaries of Republican Establishment RINOs begin!!!
AMEN, Brother!
You just hate turtles....
Mitch McConnell is a homosexual? How so?
If true, I’m not surprised and it would explain a lot!
Aw. turtles can’t be gay, can they? That aside, Mitch McConnell has been the least assertive Senate Majority Leader in US history. He’ll not be pushed around by these newcomers who are determined to change the “business as usual” way that has ruled the Republican faction in the Senate since the days of FDR, which is to preemptively surrender to the Democrats, whether they be in the minority (which has often been the case over the last 80-some years) or those rare times they achieved a majority.
But he gets FREELY moved around by whatever bloc of Democrats that are active in both drafting and controlling the flow of business through the Senate, which includes both legislation and confirmation processes. The slow-walk of the vast number of unfilled Trump appointments has been one of the more frustrating aspects of this timid leadership, allowing liberal Democrats to put a “hold” on judicial nominations with whom they disagreed, because they were not “inclusive” enough. The same with confirmations of various posts within the Cabinet and Administrative appointments under the direct authority of the President.
Purely by accident, and only because the precedent had been set in lowering the bar on the number of votes needed to seat a Supreme Court justice, was the filibuster rule waived for seating Justice Neil Gorsuch, which is still definitely in the “Win” column for the Trump Administration.
And while BOTH Trump and Pence appeared in support of Luther Strange, neither is at all dissatisfied with the choice made in the Alabama election of Roy Moore to be the Republican Senate candidate. But it was a dash of cold water in the face to Mitch McConnell.
Mitch, stop the slow-walk of the string of judicial and Administrative nominations by the Trump Administration, and eliminate the filibuster rule in the Senate altogether, as it is protected NOWHERE in the Constitution. It probably made sense when the Senate actually represented the interests of the states that appointed their two Senators each to the post, but election of Senators by popular vote kind of voided that tradition, and thrown the selection of Senators into the open campaigns for popular support. Before, all they needed was the support of the state legislature and the governor of each respective state. No popularity was considered in the least.
Mitch, you can lead, you can follow, or you can just get the H*ll out of the way. Whichever, do the right thing.
Are you perhaps trying to re-imagine current events to fit your own narrative?
Roy Moore was not the Trump candidate, his opponent Luther Strange was. Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump are not opponents. They and Senator Strange, were all on the same team backing LindseyGrahamCare, the Democrat budget, raising the national debt, etc..
Pres Trump and McConnell are about to raise taxes,
now that ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE is forever,
and the US embassy remains in Tel Aviv,
as every other promise made is broken.
This is not 5D chess. It is lying to the voters.
Elections don’t matter. K Street runs the USA.
McConnell lost and Trump won w/o doing the political bad thing by going against a sitting Senator who had been nothing but supportive. If Trump had come out for Moore and McConnell had managed to buoy Strange, it would have been a disaster for Trump. Now McConnell is the real loser because Trump didn’t step on any toes and can get 100% behind the Moore campaign.
Ditch Mitch.
$30M??? What a waste of money. These congressional and leadership PACs need to be outlawed. In this case Mitch was throwing around money like a drunken dempcrap.
With Mitch it’s simple. He’s been absolutely ineffective at moving a single piece of legislation through so he is either incompetent or actively obstructing the head of his party, the President. There is no third option. It doesnt really matter which it is, in either case he needs to go. Same for Ryan.
W had the courage to dump Trent Lott its time to go Mitch.
McCain, Collins, Murkowski, Capito, Portman, and a few others are liberals at heart.
McCain is dying and will not run again. He's free to be his liberal heart.
Capito could be primaried and in this current climate in west Virginia, it would probably yield a more conservative repub senator.
Collins is dangerous. She's the most liberal in the repub senate, moreso than many democrats. She could easily switch parties, and a democrat will likely win her seat in liberal Maine if she chooses to retire. Primarying her would turn the seat democrat, but at least you'd know the real score. On the other hand, if it flips control of the senate, that is a big loss.
Murkowski is in a state that is not a sure win for repubs in congressional races.
Portman is also in a state that is a 50/50 proposition. Portman votes conservative when he has cover, like what John McCain provides. OTOH, his constituency is conservative, so he must carefully pick his liberal votes. As a congressman he voted and talked extremely conservative in OH 02 district. The Bushes either converted him or allowed him to come out of the closet a bit. Bottom line, he isn't trustworthy.
Losing these seats would flip the Senate to democrat control. That would ruin appointments and minor legislative advance.
McConnell knows all this and walks on eggshells to keep his power.
