Conservative groups demand McConnell step down as Senate GOP leader
FoxNews ^ | 11-Oct-2017 | By Alex Pappas, Fox News

The leaders of several conservative groups called Wednesday for Mitch McConnell to step down as Senate majority leader, arguing the Kentucky Republican and the rest of his team should be ousted from their posts because they have not implemented the conservative agenda they promised.

“We call on all five members of the GOP Senate leadership to step down, or for their caucus to remove them as soon as possible,” Ken Cuccinelli, the former attorney general of Virginia who now leads the Senate Conservatives Fund, said at a Wednesday press conference on Capitol Hill.

And another NEVERTRUMPER’S name is on the list besides Ken’s, Brent Bozell.

Plus that money-grubbing phony from the terminally ill Tea Party Patriots, Jenny Beth Martin. She’s trying for another 15 minutes of fame so she can rake in more money...and then we have Freedom Works, established by the Koch Brothers, open border NeverTrumpers.

This is just another grab at relevancy for these people. It will go nowhere.

Because he has have a built in excuse why he can’t do anything unless it benefits his pals the democrats and the cheap labor donors. The plan is to run out the clock on a one term Trump Presidency by stalling everything until January 2021 when either a “sensible Republican” or a “Democrat that we can do business with” takes over. The voters had a tantrum and rebelled against their preselected choices for the 2016 election so in order to get control of the process again we have to teach them that an outsider is unable to be effective in Washington.Once after having learned their lesson the hard way they will once again allow the educated professionals who are naturally suited to run things get back to the business of getting things done in Washington and without an interference from the “voters” who think it’s their government!

Bannon has now seized the momentum that any of them ever had and they are now desperate to get on Steve’s train. The Cooch blew his chance when he led the ‘strike’ at the convention with Lee.

I was joking around on some threads last night about Harvey Weinstein going to Gstaad (luxury ski resort town in Switzerland) for his “sex addiction rehab” but that is not real info, just my feeble joke. I have not seen anything yet about where he really is now or whether he will really be in any “rehab” program or is just trying to hide out in some luxury spot.

The only articles I’ve seen on it say he was leaving the country last night, but I have yet to see anything about his destination.

Townhall had the story up earlier today.

Katie Pavlich: Grassroots Conservatives Call on McConnell, Senate Leadership to Step Aside: 'You Are The Swamp'

"It is time for you and your leadership team to step aside for new leadership that is committed to the promises made to the American people.  America is too good for you to lead it."

-PJ

“If this was a football team, and you’d lost this many times, you’d start seriously considering firing the coaches,” said David Bozell, the president of For America.

Lots of players should be replaced as well!

Maybe the Townhall article should have been posted earlier...

DEFINITELY RELATED (Freerepublic thread):

Hardball: McConnell Changes Rule to Overcome Obstruction of Trump's Judicial Picks, Dems Fume

Sounds like Mitch heard some folks were after his head. So he decided to take action.

I would imagine that Mitch is more afraid of the folks after his head rather than Chuck and Nancy.

After Chuck and Nancy are fellow swamp creatures.

Kimmel is a Hollywood celebrity. He could not have afforded health insure? Could not he have had Hollywood help him out?

Or is Hollywood LIBERALS just a bunch of anal creatures?

For the Judicial Nominations by Trump, Mitch is claiming he will honor the BLUESLIP rule.

However, Senator Chuck Grassley has overruled Mitch.

[Search keyword BLUESLIPS for several articles on this]
