At a joint press conference with Trump in the Rose Garden, McConnell didn’t mince words about how he felt about this gambit. “Look, you know, the goal here is to win elections in November,” McConnell said last month. “Back in 2010 and 2012, we nominated several candidates — Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock. They're not in the Senate. And the reason for that was that they were not able to appeal to a broader electorate in the general election."

They all lost because of Rove and McConnell.

Yeah, that's a pretty good list of past GOPe betrayals, and it doesn't include the hatchet job they did in Miss. a couple of years ago.

The mask has been ripped aside, we have a good idea of where this attack on Moore originated.

Come Dec. 13 mitch is going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Precisely! McConnell and his RNSC spend more to defeat conservatives in primaries than they do to defeat Democrats.

Yeah, Mitch loves talking about O’Donnell, Akin and Mourdock, but he never mentions Pete Hoekstra, George Allen, Connie Mack, Eric Berg, Denny Rehberg, Tommy Thompson, and Carly Fiorina - all losers as well, and Establishment losers t’boot!

You left some off your list, Carly Fiorina, Scott Brown, Mark Kirk, Tommy Thompson.

Elections get won and lost by all people all over the spectrum. Only conservatives like Judge more get their own party spending millions of dollars against them in the primary, and continue to attack AFTER the nomination is won.

As Ted Cruz stated clearly and repeatedly on the Senate floor, and was not censured for it, Mitch McConnell tells lies.
