Trump should push McConnell to quit.

I've been thinking about that in the context of Paul Ryan. It related to McConnell as well. When Donald Trump is elected, he should tell the Republicans who will be in the next Congress that they need new leadership. Until he actually wins the election, he is just a candidate. Ryan and MM, on the other hand, actually hold offices right now. (Or more accurately occupy space in offices).

Trump need not act first reguarding self defense.

How many people voted for McConnel? How many have voted for Trump? So “who” needs to change to support the MAJORITY of voters?

Mitch should be in federal prison with his other 534 gang members. Many former gang members should be rounded up also.

This butt wipe is responsible for standing like
a wooden Indian while Odungo rode roughshod over
the Constitution and American citizens....
Mitch your a useless conniving POS,
who stuffed your pockets while turning your back on the responsibilities of your office. You have failed....you no longer desever
respect nor acknowledgment.

If the Republicans would be what they say they are, the party of opposition to the Liberal Democrats, then The Donald would not have to resort to “name-calling”, as Senator McConnell puts it.

Kind of like a mule skinner cracking the whip over the backs of a rather recalcitrant team of mules. They respond to the sound of the whip, not the actual lash. If it is also followed by a long string of what some may term defamatory language, then that is all part of the show.

But move they will, obeying the urgings of the mule skinner.

This democrat in republican’s clothing wants Trump to be like him...He wants him to cower down and accept what the “professional politicians” want...To keep their gravy train at us, the taxpayer’s expense, and do absolutely nothing to help America...

Trump WILL push McConnell into the backseat when he is elected....

The Trembling Turtle, who can only hold his seat by redistributing other people’s money in Kentucky is telling Trump what to do. Trump, the outsider who won a national election spending much less money per vote of his own money or small amounts donated voluntarily.

He added to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that when it comes to Trump, he is “in favor of more scripts, more boring.”

We can save a lot of money on speechwriters by recycling Romney's stemwinder* speeches.

*In this case, a speech so dull that you fiddle with the stem of your watch to see if time has stopped.

I do think that Trump can turn down his off the cuff insults. The whole Megyn Kelly flap was self-inflicted damage with no purpose. On the other hand repeating "Corrupt Hillary" in every speech might be deadly to her campaign.

Trump doesn’t need the endorsement of a spineless loser whose only accomplishments have been to let the Soetoro agenda pass.

This is why the government has failed so much over the last 70 years. And they just don’t get it. McConnell is the perfect example.

For years, both parties have produced candidates with the same breakdown as to how and why. The libs in their, so called, progressive way, get into power with promises they do not keep at all, and screw up the system every time. The conservatives get in a lot less and create a system of neutrality and get little dene mostly because they fear the left media, but enough to stay in the running. So neither party has really produced a candidate that is actually different. And our society is on the edge with high bills, low wages, unemployment, bad or expensive heath care........ They yearn for something.

And then along comes Trump. Not part of the beltway system, angry at what’s happened, and ruffling the feathers of both parties that have failed the people in their minds. He’s loud, quick to get mad when someone is cheated, and says what the people want to hear, “Let’s make American strong again!” Factly, he scares the He— out of the politicians because he won’t back down which just tickles the public to no end. And he is independently rich so he can’t be bought. The media doesn’t scare him because he has nothing they can take from him as he doesn’t care what people think about him except at the polls.

But career politicians like McConnell had better get ready. They are about to face the real John Q. Public in Trump. He’s angry, wants real change, and is about to drop the hammer. And he doesn’t really care what they think. And it’s about time.

We are all different and who is he to tell Trump what to do and how to act? McConnell should think about who will have the power of veto should Trump be elected POTUS. Trump could effectively shut down the senate under McConnell.

Yeah. Why work on Obama when you have a proven track record of changing republicans into democrats? It’s so much more cordial in Washington that way.
