Yeah you right, we’re being played.

But watch: come this time next year, we’ll see more and more of the same old “lesser-evil” nonsense. It’ll be all over the news, and it’ll even be all over here. We’ll see it for individual senate races, we’ll see it if Jeb! is the nominee.

It should be pretty plain to see that the GOP is no longer on our side. They aren’t even pretending. And those in the party who DO try to do right by their constituents (Ted Cruz, etc) are repudiated and ostracized by their party peers. It’s disgusting.

Cruz spoke on the Senate floor about this rotten communists pig McConnell. Actually Cruz was too polite. Hope the Trump will get in on the act and burn McConnell.

He is a vindictive little worm who exerts power over his subordinates because he has no influence elsewhere.

That and he has to neutralize what few members in his caucus there are who are not compromised.

“Fobs Them Off”

I have some vague notion that is a Briticism, but am not interested enough to look it up. As for the rest of the headline, “Fractious GOP Senators” are the only people McConnell would ever dress down. He coos at Reid, Schumer, Durbin, and the rest of the leftist ilk.

That’s the BRILLIANCE of the evil scheme concocted by Obama.

&&&
Except Obamugbe lacks that level of brilliance; his puppetmasters get credit for the brilliance of the scheme.

Kelly Ayotte is a Republican...but of the GOPe. She is a reason why I am no longer a Conservative Republican, but a Conservative.

I will work actively to prevent her from being re-elected. She has betrayed New Hampshire and the United States of America. She is the lapdog of John McCain and Linda Graham.

It’s getting to the point where I don’t see Republicans as being any different than Democrats.

I believe Cruz is engineering a revolt behind the scenes, the other Senators are too scared to oppose McConnell, but if Cruz can convince them, I believe he can take a good number of Senators with him, and bolt from the Party.

Cruz is leading a revolt, no doubt about it.

His intention, though, is not to bolt from the party, but to change its leadership. In that regard, I believe it is now only a matter of time.

Jeff Sessions for Majority Leader...???

I don't see working within the party as a viable option anymore.

Those other senators should be afraid of their constituents and not some moron from KY.

Grow a pair GOP!

I think that’s why Trump is such a good thing right now, he is empowering them to stand up to the GOP Leadership.

Understand the frustration.

Personally, I see the current insurgency as the party's last chance.

And, maybe, the country's....
