Republicans flee from McConnell in 2018 primaries

Nobody wants to be on Team McConnell.

Heading into the 2018 elections, only one Republican Senate candidate nationwide has pledged unequivocally to back Mitch McConnell as majority leader. Most Republicans facing competitive primaries are hemming and hawing, admiring McConnell’s political savvy and fundraising apparatus — but also looking warily at his sinking approval ratings both with Republicans and the broader electorate.

This from Politico!! There must be rumblings in Washington!!

Power is shifting.

Watch the tax bill this week. McConnell will likely strong-arm his moderates to get it passed.

I have heard the one still supporting Mitch is from the WV race. Here are those currently listed as in the running.

Bo Copley (Republican)
Scott Ernst (Republican)
Evan Jenkins (Republican)
Joe Manchin (Democratic)
Patrick Morrisey (Republican)
Paula Jean Swearengin (Democratic)

Jenkins is the McConnell pick

Obi-Wan KaBannon is on this one.

The Swamp Majority Leader is toxic. He needs to go.

Earlier would have been ideal, but now is the time to start a list of some sort in your local state races for both parties to sort out the chaff from the wheat.

Arizona is one of those with Kelli Ward being challenged by a RINO who cloaked herself in a Tea Party robe to get elected and immediately went Deep State.

Any takers to manage their state? The best up to date listing is the one linked above and also here to take out all the trash from both sides. Bannon can’t do it all by himself. I have somebody in mind to ask for Florida who is already actively involved.

One additional point;

How to score the current office holders?

I hate to say this but, I believe McConnell will torpedo the the Tax reform. cut bill, It will not pass the Senate. McCain, Corker, Flake, Collins with McConnell blessing them and nodding with them, will allow the tax legislation to fail, just as he stood by, and, did nothing to repeal and replace Obamacare. McConnell has the one & only goal to destroy POTUS, Donald J. Trump and with him, destroy the entire American economy.

Judge, Roy Moore will will win the open senate seat in Alabama via a political landslide which further will irk McConnell. I can assure you folks. McConnell cannot and will not destroy POTUS, Trump...not even close.

The 2018 Mid-Term elections will be a critical path election, with the American voters either choosing the Republican/RINO/Democrat Establishment swamp creatures or, The Trump Conservatives. I can also assure you folks...that should the McConnell, Ryan, Schumer, Pelosi swamp creatures win...you can say goodbye to the American Republic...across the board.

The American voter has the choice...either hang yourself with losers or, choose to go forward, making America great again.

Voters in Alabama...cast all your votes for Judge Roy Moore and keep America and Alabama, alive, well, growing and healthy. If you vote for any “Doug Jones” Democrat...you kill Alabama & the USA.

Bottom line: Mitch McConnell must go...like right now.

I pray the tax bill is defeated. It is a disaster.

KICK OUT THE RINOS!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Though it grieves me, I pleaded with Kentucky Republicans to not reelect McConnell, because I foresaw exactly what is happening now, that McConnell is in effect stealing at least 2 years from President Trump.

Were a Democrat to be in his place, the senate would be tied, and RINOs would still often prevail, even with the vote of the VP, but with a different, better Republican majority leader, at least there would be a better chance to eliminate Obamacare and the other major nightmares.

But, as things have turned out, the next elections, which may very well eliminate several RINOs, and maybe replace several Democrats with conservative Republicans in the senate, what has been delayed by McConnell will finally not be denied.

If that election goes very well, conservatives could finally have the momentum to do in congress what President Trump has been doing on his own at the executive level. Monumental and lasting change for the better, and discarding mountains of bad socialist-progressive and corporatist-globalist laws that have degraded and threatened our nation for so long.

There are only two political parties in America:

The Pro-Slavery Party
(also known as the "Democrat Party,"
"The Party of Jim Crow, Slavery, and the Ku Klux Klan,"
"The Party of Corruption,"
"The Anti-American Party," and
"The American Communist Party")

and

The Anti-Slavery Party
(also known as "The Republican Party" and
"The Party of Donald Trump").

Mitch and the GOPe control the senate PAC money. They decide.

[GailA]

Last polling numbers out of KY on Toxic Mitch were 17% of likely voters. So it's not just a national movement.

[Fightin Whitey]

I’ll second that.

[GailA]

Every 2nd A supporter best be setting the DC phone lines on fire Monday, mitch, ryan et al are bringing up gun control bills in the wake of the mass shooting in Vegas. Which was ILLEGAL GUNS because the Military didn’t do it’s job of reporting the Perp.

No wonder Turd-le is nervous about Judge Moore joining the Senate.
