[BIG Snip] "...........McConnells handling of the fiscal crisis underscores the tricky political position he constantly found himself in throughout this fight: He couldnt be seen as undercutting the conservatives in the House, even as he opposed their strategy of using the shutdown as leverage to defund Obamacare.
Asked if the deal would hurt his chances in a primary against conservative businessman Matt Bevin, McConnell declined to comment on his primary. But he offered up a stinging analysis of his Democratic opponent, Grimes.
What happened yesterday completely steps on the whole rationale for her candidacy, which is that somehow Im part of what she calls the dysfunction in Washington, McConnell said. Look, I demonstrated on four occasions including yesterday the most recent occasion, yesterday that when the country is in crisis and something needs to be done on a bipartisan basis, I can step forward and get an agreement.
Grimes, McConnell said, has had a pretty bad 24 hours.........................." [BIG Snip]

...says his actions elevated his primary campaign
Yes. I’ll vote democrat if I have to. I want that weasle out. Now.
If the people of Ky vote according to who brings home the bacon, he’s a shoo-in.
Sounds like it wasn’t a “clean” bill.
"I can step forward and force the other side to accept my full and unconditional surrender."
I hope McConnell is toast. Kentucky, make him an example of how we feel about back-stabbing traitors.
Delusional behavior is never pretty.
What an utter tool. Elevated his primary campaign. Just an underline to what is really important to these types. Outrageous.
Oh is THAT what you did Sen. Mcconnell? You stepped forward?
So what is The Gobblers strategy(besides surrender. Surrender is an outcome, not a strategy) going forward?
I want to know what is the RINO strategy is besides dissing Cruz and Lee.
Does anybody here actually know what the McConnell strategy is?
Mitch McConnell should be arrested for Prositution! But Harry Reid must be desperate for ‘effection’ as 3 Billion dollars would buy every high class hooker in ‘Vegas a million times over!!!
What happened yesterday completely steps on the whole rationale for her candidacy, which is that somehow Im part of what she calls the dysfunction in Washington,
Well Mitch old boy it definitely proved that you are part of the dysfunction in the Republican party.
We’ll see how the ole Kentucky Kickback plays with home-state Conservatives.
“that when the country is in crisis and something needs to be done on a bipartisan basis, I can step forward and get an agreement.
You mean a surrender in which you stab us in the back and become Os7itbag’s prison bi7ch?
McConnell, your tenure as senator is OVER
“Yes. Ill vote democrat if I have to. I want that weasle out. Now.”
***
Vote Democrat and you’ll get a bigger weasel.
You’d better address your primary opponent, McConnell. Ignoring him ain’t gonna work this time.
