McConnell isn’t up for re-election for four years so Trump isn’t killing anything. Mitch was in D.C. before the President came. He’ll be there after the President is gone.

I’ve had it with McConnell for some time. We obviously can’t primary him out but I didn’t vote for him last time and if the lying traitor runs again I won’t vote for him next time. He owns the Republican party in this state so that’s about all I can do.

McConnell’s dogged efforts to repeal Obamacare,

His efforts to keep from repealing obamacare are transparent and obvious to voters. He is the one who will give us Single Payer if he can. The level of his future wealth depends on it.

Good idea IF the agencies compiling the data were honest. Like the polls, dishonest people have ways to skew numbers in their favor.

McConnell plays the long game.

Here are the facts:

1. He’s going to be Senate Majority Leader - probably with a bigger majority - in 2019.
2. He will win re-election easily in 2020.

> “Cutting Medicaid? 54% disapprove.”

Symptomatic of an ill, dispirited population that needs a boost, an inspiration, a raison-d’etre.

Freepers from KY have chimed in of local conditions unknown to most outside KY, that being a huge opioid-heroin addiction, with diseases and AIDS from dirty needles. HENCE, THE DESPERATION FOR ANY GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE ON HEALTH CARE.

I imagine that decades of looking down on coal-miners have left the locals down and out, seeking escape via the needle and falling prey to illicit drug dealers who are all too happy to accommodate.

And our President has recently blasted opioid targeting as a national issue. I would say our President is 100% in tune with states like Kentucky.

Kentuckians need health care assistance for the short-term and a thriving economy for the intermediate term. Bring good jobs to KY and the long term will see dependency on government provided health care taper off. That is President Trump’s plan.

Add Dick Shelby from Al. Maybe if Brooks helps Moore donn here for the open seat then the then Sen Moore will help someone conservative beat Dick.

Yes, with that bigger majority, we will pass the Trump agenda.

I’m not convinced that RINO Republicanism and Anti-Trump Republicanism aren’t trouble to those who practice them. Senator McConnell might not, even, last to the ‘20 election, with all of the things that he’s, already, (and will be) doing to disappoint conservative voters, between now and ‘20.

If voters are upset with McConnell’s dogged efforts to repeal Obamacare

Are there two Bitch BcConnell's in the Senate? Cause I'm definitely not familiar with the one they're talking about.

Kentuckians need to ask if the turtle can keep his senatorship.
