If Mitch McConnell Goes, the Senate Could Get Very Scary

“He’s quite coherent at times.”

That sounds like a great campaign slogan.

;-)

[dfwgator]

“Mostly coherent”

[chiller]

"..quite coherent at times."

Better copyright it because it could be in very high demand in coming cycles.

LOL!! It’s been scary for a long time. Too many Rinos that people continue to vote for, just to keep those seats Republican.

[Jim Noble]

The System has to be taken down before things can get better

"When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

[Hattie]

It’s already scary.

Mitch can keep his seat as long as he is capable of pushing the vote button.

He just needs to step down as Minority leader.

John Thune is the likely replacement, although I prefer John Barrasso (WY).

“You got something you want to tell me.....”

Lol.

[DoughtyOne]

So would I, but a RINO den of thieves like that won’t go for
it.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Yeah, if only!

[JimRed]

They owe far too many favors to far too many dangerous people.

They need to become more frightened of WE THE PEOPLE.

I wouldn’t put Cruz in charge of a dog pound. He’s probably still the most hated person in the Senate.

"Nikki Haley calls Senate ‘most privileged nursing home in the country,’ says McConnell freeze-up was ‘sad’!"
My mother was the secretary of the House Ways and Means Committee up to the beginning of WWII. As a youth, I heard her remark that the Senate was an "Old Boys Club" where everyone scratched each others' backs. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

[napscoordinator]

Definitely true.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

“The governor has to appoint from among those nominated by the party of the sitting or outgoing or dead Senator, that is, the party of the Senator that was chosen by the people in the last election.”

That’s probably as close as we’ll ever get to repealing the 17th Amendment.
