From Raw Story via rickey.org ^ | 2/27/16 | Rickey Yaneza

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has assured Senate candidates running for reelection that they can run ads against Donald Trump even if he wins the GOP nomination for president.

According to the New York Times, senators attending private lunches with the Majority Leader have been advised to take the position that Donald Trump will lose badly in the general election and should prepare themselves for a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Trump has already done an incredible job driving a stake through the heart of “Political Correctness.” Everyone — whether they support him or not — has to thank him for that. People are speaking more freely than they have in years. It’s refreshing.

I think if McConnell fights something Trump tries that will really help America and American people, the common, everyday people will be up in arms over it...McConnell won’t be able to stand the heat and neither will other republican Senators that try...

Yes, I do know that. He should never have been for TPA, that’s the Goldman Sachs donors whispering in his ear.

NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, PNTR, TPA, TPP - all scams

LOL Trump can run his own ads against McConnell and it will help Trump just as much or more than any ads he makes against Hillary.
McConnell caused Trump!

>>They could call themselves the Whigs or the RINOs.

Let those Progressive idiots keep the damn elephant. We need a new party anyway that draws all the productive people from both parties so the old elephant and jackass can only represent the money changers, influence peddlers, and the useless eaters. Because that’s all they really care about now anyway.

McConnell is realizing that Trump’s cannon fire against the Washington elite of both parties is having effect on the low-information voters.

McConnell is scared the gravy train is about to stop running.

I like it when McConnell is scared.

“If Mitch is still Majority Leader then Trump won’t get anything accomplished”

Trump will get a lot more accomplished with a Democrat controlled Senate and Congress.

Change of the Guard
Steely Dan

If you listen you can hear it
It’s the laughter in the street
It’s the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
All the signs are right this time
You don’t have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
You’re feelin’ the change of the guard

All the cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride
Take your guns off it you’re willin’
And you know we’re on your side
If you wanna get thru the years
It’s high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You’re feelin’ the change of the guard

When the Republicans took over Congress in a landside when Clinton was President and Gingrich became House Leader, Clinton had the decency to announce he got the message. It really sucks when the Republicans have less decency for their own side.

You're kidding, right? Since when has Congress ever cared what the American people want?

“Sounds like it’s time for Mitch and the boys to form their own third party.

They could call themselves the Whigs or the RINOs.”

Why not combine the two and call them “WHINOS???”

Had he come out saying he would try to destroy our nominee in a state our nominee will likely win by a large margin?

“We strongly encourage you to run against the wildly popular new standard bearer of our party”

Is that basically what he’s saying here?

Thanks for that link, Jane, they are running out of time to destroy our Nation’s Sovereignty, and are pulling out all the stops.

Traitors.

Trump is really causing these guys to take off their masks.

The majority has been fooled for too long.
