Democrat politicos have a knack for getting the goods on their Republicrat opponents.

Someone had a photo of Boner frenching a poodle.

What they have on wimpy would probably curdle your milk.

Yep, a businessman protecting his interests.

Cruz and Paul cut a deal with McConnell not to oppose any incumbent Senator against a more conservative challenger in the primaries. So Cruz helped MCConnell not only on his election but ensured he had more power in the Senate. That move also screwed McDaniel.

Neither are pure.

If one lives in a state with a contested R incumbent, inform their office in a professional manner if McConnell folds, you will simply withhold any and all support for their re election efforts and make sure 10,20,50 other individuals will be persuaded to also withhold support and vote. Flooding DC and local phone lines and e mails stating consequences of approving a rabid liberal to the SCOTUS may be what is needed to have these jellyfish evolve a spine. Also state the consequences of the Senate folding to your elected congresscritter that your support will be withheld.

I think if obomma wanted McConnel’s kids and grandkids, he would offer them up. The guy is not willing to stand for or defend ANYTHING.

I for one will leave the party. Not that it will matter at that point.

McConnell can not be counted on, all the dumbass must do is delay for a few months. Imagine that, the USSC hangs in the balance of one man having to find the courage to do nothing.

We have military risking their lives every day, and all McConnell must do is offer up words: “...no... ...maybe... we’ll get back to you... ...still considering...” Pathetic bunch this GOP.

McConnell is owned. Not leased, not rented. Owned. He’ll kick and scream for the sake of appearance, but in the end, he will do exactly as instructed... and Obama will get his fifth Marxist on the high court.

And let the record show that Donald Trump, hero of the so-called anti-establishment, went out of his way to forcefully support this man’s re-election against a viable anti-establishment opponent.

Whatever the Mitch the Turtle did in Vegas isn’t going to stay in Vegas. Only question is whether it involved a live boy or a dead girl.

Uhhh...when was the last time McConnell didn’t lie? Harry Reid’s staffer, whoever he is, probably couldn’t lie more if there was a contest!

Bevin taking out McConnell would have sent a message. That was thwarted by the GOPe with Trump's help.

Didn't Mark Levin support McConnell in his run against Bevin?

Because Harry Reid is the true leader of the Senate; and because he has Bitch McTurtle’s numbers.

Get back to me after Obama’s appointment has been confirmed.

I agree. Need huge grain of salt here, considering the source.

The Reid staffer isn’t speaking off-the-cuff. They’re being instructed to taunt us, because the outcome is predetermined.

Grassley is also publicly signaling the forthcoming capitulation. The writing is on the wall.

Looking at the comments I think many read it too fast and missed a key part:”Deputy Chief of Staff for Senate Minority leader Harry Reid....”

Or they think Reid is honest. I think Reid is a bald faced liar.

RE:”Adam Jentleson ‘ Deputy Chief of Staff for Senate Minority leader Harry Reid ‘ tweeted Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will allow President Obama’s eventual nomination to fill Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court Seat.

And yet the media widely publishes accusations of Ted Cruz being a liar while McConnell once again proves Ted Cruz was right. Well in fairness McConnell hasn’t yet. Although let’s hope he lied to Harry Reid this time.

If Ted Cruz is the enemy of McConnell, McCain, and Lindsey Graham, he must be awesome.

It’s getting real now. (of course it always was)
