Who believes he has the will and the ability to follow through with this claim? What will really change from today?

I have reached the belief that RNC does not want to end this battle any more than the DNC. Both have used it greatly for years to raise donations.

We need to make McConnell unemployed. The traitor needs to go.

The two parties, as it turns out, have been playing “good cop, bad cop” with us for decades, if not longer.

I’m done with that paradigm.

Well Mitch. If you are not going to repeal Obamacare we really don’t have any use for you. You have had several years, and as of today absolutely no results.

No and no.

We may need McConnell for control of the Senate but it’s a disgrace this rotten, cadaverous old RINO was re-nominated.

Choosing him as majority leader would be further rewarding incompetence and duplicity and cowardice.

"If American people give us the opportunity to be in a majority next year, I'll be setting the agenda," McConnell said. "It's easier to score if you're on offense, and the majority leader is offensive coordinator."

He added: "If we have a new majority next year, and a new majority leader, the Keystone pipeline will be voted on on the floor of the Senate, something the current majority has been avoiding for literally years."

Whereupon McConnell futilely scanned the horizon looking for takers.

I doubt there is a Republican who if became Senate majority leader would NOT bring the Keystone XL pipeline up for a vote.

The first thing McConnell would do is announce Power Sharing with his fellow nutjob Harry

McConnell and his band of RINO’s have done nothing except enable
Harry Reid and his liberal bills by voting for cloture numerous times.

I think his alligator mouth is overbalancing his mocking bird butt.

It would be nice, but Obama would veto any legislation that authorized the pipeline and there is no way he could get enough votes to override.

No, he won’t. Dems will either filibuster it, or 0bama will veto.

It is highly unlikely that he will have a veto proof or even a filibuster proof majority if he gets a majority at all. The smacking down of many of the conservative candidates by chicanery and by overtly pandering to the Left will depress the Republican vote in November so the Democrats’ Republican subsidiary may not even get a majority.

he has the will and the ability to say what he thinks useful for getting votes now. What he says has no relationship to his comportment after the election.

Well first Mitch you need to win your senate race and then you and your GOPe sychophants need to motivate the rest of us to go out in sufficient numbers to take the Senate back. Then we can talk about the Keystone pipeline and other things we will expect you to do.
