A Third of Republicans Want McConnell, Ryan Out

Late last week, President Trump criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over the Senate’s failure to pass a health care repeal bill before the August recess, raising the question of whether the Kentucky Senator should step down from his position. Even one third of his fellow Republicans think that’s a good idea.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 36% of Likely Republican Voters think it would be good for the United States if McConnell stepped down as Senate majority leader, while 17% believe it would be bad for the country. Another 35% of GOP voters feel if McConnell stepped down as the top Republican in the Senate, it would have no impact. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.

Everyone needs to remember that EVERY politician has something on OTHER politicians. It’s called political insurance and stroke. Another word for it is BLACKMAIL.

Don’t “go along to get along” and you will soon see what I mean. Trump is now experiencing the failure to obey the laws of politics.

I would estimate that no more than 10% of all political elites have a “clean slate” that did not contain special favors, payoffs, rewards for special votes, etc...

90% of them have “dirty hands” and 100% of them know why they are. Corruption, pandering, going along to get along and a whole host of perfect descriptions for politicians applies.

WE put Trump into office...not the politicians.

I'm really surprised it's only one third of Republicans that want McConnell kicked out.I expected at least two thirds..

Wonder what % of the 62+million Dumb Deplorable Colluders, i.e. voters for Trump would like to see these rectums sent to the ashcan for losers?

Your tagline is so on target!

DH (Once the tainted finger of government touches anything the rot begins)!

Which is why Trump is hated at all levels of government from cities to DC.

The DC swamp flows down into basically every state, county and city in America and poisons all who benefit from it.

One third is only the ones who know about it and are paying attention.

Imagine what the number will be when all Republicans know about the slimers.

Given the options, I can see the result. Only one in six honk it would be bad. Thatit would make no difference is a defensible opinion

They must have polled Democrats. Republicans would have to be at least 75% against these traitors.

A third? I don’t believe that for a minute. It has to be much, much more.
