“So that’s who McConnell is able to stand up to - other Republicans.”
Right. He’s willing to fight to the death with conservatives. With Reid, Schumer, and other leftists his strongest punch is to “regret the actions of the Democrats.”
"Mitch" McConnell needs to change his nickname to "Reid's Bitch" McConnell.
But the simple fact is that the "GOP-e" is more in sympathy with the liberal Democrats than with conservatives. While Reid and the Democrats play "hardball", the "go-along-to-get-along" Republicans play "tiddlywinks".
If I had been the one, whom was talking down to like that, I would have told McConnell to shut up before I punched his lights out and there isn’t a damn thing he could do about it.
