Andrew Surabian, senior adviser to the Great America Alliance spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Monday regarding Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s claim that Steve Bannon and others are “specialists in nominating people that lose.”
Surabian blasted McConnell as “the opposite of a fighter,” adding, “that’s why he hasn’t been able to pass any of the Trump agenda through the Senate. So, that’s number one.”
He continued, “No Senate candidate across the country wants to be associated with Mitch McConnell. Then you have to ask the question, why do these candidates not want to be publicly associated with Mitch McConnell and the reason is because they all know Mitch McConnell is an albatross on their campaigns in the primaries and in the general election.”
Mitch McConnell is the most disliked national political figure in the country,” said Surabian. He then went on to point out a number of McConnell’s handpicked candidates who have lost elections in recent years.
“No one has higher disapproval ratings than Mitch McConnell, so these candidates and their consultants and their pollsters understand that it’s much better for them to be associated with Donald Trump and Steve Bannon than it is to be associated with an albatross like Mitch McConnell.”
“We’re witnessing the meltdown of the McConnell industrial complex,” concluded Surabian.

Soooooo, “Team Mitch” headed for the showers?
Mitch McConnell, the face of the GOP
Take a knee, Mitch. That’ll help
Andrew Surabian making a lot of sense here.
Of course, we here at FR have been saying this about McConnell for years. Only thing that gave me pause was McConnell’s stand against Obama’s Supreme Court pick to replace Scalia and his shutting the door to Obama to make a recess appointment. But then he also shut the door to recess appointments to President Trump this last Summer Recess and that has caused our President to continue to suffer the likes of Sessions, McCabe, Koskinen.
Weird man McConnell but Surabian nailed him right. McConnell has no passion, no fight in him to advance our Trump agenda.
McConnell may be as good as it gets as a US Senator from KY, or maybe not. Maybe there is better. But certainly, McConnell as Senate Majority Leader is a no-go from the get-go.
Remember Frist? Yeah, he was worse.
And when one thinks through it all, the US Senate is a farce since at least 1913.

This was Yuge! Mitch came up big here, or did he ? I was surprised Obama declined to really push the issue. Perhaps both Barry and Mitch expected Hillary to win by 50 points ?
