Trump, McConnell set for tense talks at Monday meeting

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is set to sit down with President Donald Trump Monday in a White House meeting that could help patch their relationship, which fractured in a big way over the summer, when the two leaders took shots at each other over health care reform and the effectiveness of Congress.

Back in August, Trump said he was “very disappointed in Mitch,” after McConnell said Trump had “excessive expectations” about the legislative process.

The meeting comes as conservative groups demand McConnell step down from his leadership role.

“We call on all five members of the GOP Senate leadership to step down, or for their caucus to remove them as soon as possible,” Ken Cuccinelli, the former attorney general of Virginia who now leads the Senate Conservatives Fund, said Wednesday on Capitol Hill.

Trump Administration is committed to Doing the Right Thing!

Unclear what McConnell's intentions are: he better start doing the right thing or get fired!

For all of 2017, what is it exactly that the GOP has accomplished via the Senate? With a 3x5 card, you’d only get about half of the card filled up. They could have take four months off and accomplished the same amount.

We all know McConnell is stalling for time hoping the Dems can retake both chambers in Congress in next year’s elections. Turtle Man doesn’t give a damn about us. He’s protecting the Swamp.

“meeting that could help patch their relationship”

I hope so. I hope McConnell comes to his senses.

“I hope so. I hope McConnell comes to his senses.”

I hope Trump bashes his head against the oval office desk repeatedly saying: Can you hear me now? How about now? How about now? How about now? How about now? How about now? How about now? How about now? How about now?

Ok good. Get to work.

The only thing McConnell senses is that President Trump is serious about shutting down Mitch’s employer, the Cheap Labor Express.

“Don Vito Corleone: I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”

Like Loretta Lynch got from Slick on the jet in Phoenix.
