Best quote from that article:
To understand Mitch McConnell is to understand two things: his zeal for winning elections for squish moderates at all costs and his view that Senate rules are the only thing that sets the Senate apart as a superior institution, superseding all others. Having McConnell in leadership means that nothing whatsoever of substance will ever be done on his watch.

Many senators work solely with the cesspool, drinking in the sludge ladle by ladle, and many Republican senators clearly prefer to do as little as possible so as not to upset their “friends across the aisle.” But Trump was elected to shake things up. He can start by calling McConnell’s bluff. McConnell has been in D.C. for 30 years and is one of the biggest swamp monsters who stands between the people and Washington, D.C.

They don't call Washington DC a swamp for nothing.

Sen. Susan Collins....“They don’t want this hyper-partisanship. They want us to work together. And they want us to get things done,” she said.

It's like listening to someone in a 40 yr old timewarp.

My gawd, if 2016 should've taught her anything, it's that we CRAVE hyper-partisanship!! If only the lily-livered cowards in the GOPe were up to it!

She can’t help herself, she simply wants to be liked.

“Trump must be ready to DESTROY McConnell”

I think we have no idea what PDJT has on many of TPTB in DC. He’s not stupid. He knows people who know “stuff”. Maybe he’s holding back exposing them as long as possible, hoping that they’ll eventually do the right thing. If they never do, then move on to Plan B. Drain the swamp.

Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine moderate who just passed up a run for governor and was a pivotal “no” vote on health care, said Bannon’s rhetoric is exactly what the American people are tired of. “They don’t want this hyper-partisanship. They want us to work together. And they want us to get things done,” she said.

Horse manure. If we wanted everyone to sing Kumbaya, we wouldn't have elected Trump.

“Hastert, Bohner, McConnel, Ryan”

Trent Lott and Bill Frist could also be added to that list.

Completely WORTHLESS.
