As the top elected Republican in the country, Mitch McConnell has an obligation to immediately and dramatically improve his performance.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was asked yesterday about Republican prospects for the November elections.
“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome,” McConnell replied.
The media and others on the left were of course thrilled with the Republican leader’s “notable quotable” disparagement of Republican candidates and the voters who chose them, which somehow came off even worse on video.
What was McConnell thinking? What in the world was he thinking?
Unnecessarily ceding an incredibly winnable Senate to Democrats three months before an election is a great example of the leadership choices that have led McConnell to be the least popular national politician in the country, according to the RealClearPolitics average. And it’s a good example of why so many Republicans — grateful as they may be for his successes — think it’s time for new leadership.
Still, for the time being, McConnell is the top elected Republican, and he has an obligation to effectively lead the Republican team, respecting the voters and who they have chosen.

Mitch just wants to lead the “Washington Generals” aka patsies.
You get all the graft, without having to really fight the Deep State.
I’m ok with leaving Mitch in place. His face, matched with his actions, helps to make MAGA stronger. We will have short term losses, but in the long run identifying these people and getting rid of them will make US much, much stronger.
Come On, Mitch McConnell, Republicans Need You To Step Down And Retire
He is near the end of his reign. He is 80.Alzheimer’s or some other disease is going to get him soon ..
Next one might not be any better than China Mitch.
I hope Romney doesn’t have a chance at it
It’s not in McConnell’s DNA to take the kind of risks required by leadership of this sort. He’s a squish.
sorry, mollie, but you are pissing into the wind
ditch mitch is the only way to win
asking mitch to work against his own interest is folly
Mitch is leading, he’s leading us down the path to becoming North Mexico as he has been doing for 30 years.
I’m perplexed by folks who STILL put their faith in the Republican Party and folks like Mitch McConnell….
Don’t they realized that to them… WE are the “enemy”?
To them, the democrat party are simply their partners in crime who always seem to beat them to the lions share of the spoils after having mugged and fleeced the American public once again…
Again, WE are their true enemy.
We will not get new leadership until we elect new membership.
As long as we re-elect Mitch’s bitches he will be their leader.
Keep re-electing Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Lee, Crapo, Grassley, Shelby, Murkowski, Sullivan, Boozman, Rubio, Risch, Young, Braun, Moran, Cassidy, Collins, Hyde-Smith, Daines, Fischer, Sasse, Burr, Tillis, Hoeven, Cramer, Portman, Inhofe, Lankford, Toomey, Grahamnesty, Rounds, Cornyn, Romney, Capito, Lummis and they will keep electing McConnell.
mitch just came out and said pubs are going to lose
cuz of the low quality of candidates, ie MAGA candidates
who sez that about their own side?
no one
he is not on our side
GOP leadership is useless…..therefore the GOP is useless
They just re-elected him in 2020, along with Texas re-electing Cornyn, NC re-electing Tillis, SC re-electing Grahamnesty.
Florida is going to re-elect Amnesty Senator Rubio and ND is going to re-elect Amnesty Senator Hoeven.
There are MANY states that need to do better.
the “leadership” is chock full of rinos
no MAGAs are even near a leadership position
the whole cabal has to be ripped out by the roots
he did send money to vance
but that is probably a one off
I make it a point to read everything Mollie Hemingway writes.
I suspect that she is way more savvy about what really motivates Mitch McConnell than she is letting here.
My two cents: McConnell doesn’t want J.D. Vance telling him to go pound sand the next time they try to send billions in weapons and financial aide to Ukraine to keep the corruption and grift going.
If the Repubs are unable to take the House and the Senate, it will ultimately and directly be because of the feckless RINOs led by McCarthyIdiot and McConnellIdiot. Bet.
Mitch McConnell‘s obvious and possibly intended inept handling and inaction by the Republican leadership during the Dem/elitists Takedown of Trump has allowed what will be looked at historically as one of the major contributing factors to the downfall of America.
“The media and others on the left were of course thrilled with the Republican leader’s “notable quotable” disparagement of Republican candidates and the voters who chose them, which somehow came off even worse on video.”
What’s McConnell’s FReeper name?
He is condemning his own nominees like he did Roy Moore. He is a despicable parasite.
