WASHINGTON — Mitch McConnell says he was surprised Donald Trump won on election night last year.

That may be true, but no one more brilliantly or shrewdly set the wheels in motion for President Trump's victory than the Senate majority leader from Kentucky.

I agree with you. I realize Congress is all about compromise and the Senate, in particular, needing 60 votes for most major bills, but the republicans seem to be uniquely toothless. Great last sentence: They are just the only option that offers any hope at all.

[Dave W]

Nah, don’t think so. Nice thought, though!

[jazminerose]

I’m inclined to give him that one, keeping Obama’s judge from being appointed. Although to be accurate, McConnell staved the appointment of to ensure a Republican pick, any Republican.

[Flick Lives]

McConnell Is a weathervane.

He convinced us to not trust the GOP so we’d vote for the true outsider. Turtleman is brilliant!

But he can dial the Globalist Shill shtick back a couple notches now that his master plan is complete and we elected Trump.

Ha....how the turtle turns

A good turtle test is if Rule 19 gets implemented

That is limits Senate speakers to 2 speeches on any one topic

forces a 50 vote ending.

I guess we knew that if McConnell wasn’t all that thrilled with Trump, he was the one we needed to vote for....

[bert]

Mitch did well.....

He took care of his wife and there’s no telling how much she nagged him to get her a cabinet job

He got rid of the onerous anti coal meddling by the EPA/marxists enviros

He now can provide a favor or two

[AustinBill]

Success has a thousand fathers...

[hawkaw]

What utter b.s.

[Makana]

Right, Mitch. And you knew that Edelman was going to make that catch back in December as well.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I hate the guy but that is right on.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Your prediction will be spot on.

[af_vet_1981]

McConnell had no choice.

He did have a choice, and he made the right choice. God gave us a miracle.

[Emergencyawesome]

McConnell failed to take out Obamacare so he definitely did help

[jch10]

This is satire, right?
