You know Mitch McConnell is gay, right?
Yes it has.
What did you make of Corker's comment yesterday, announcing that he would not run again in 2018: “I also believe the most important public service I have to offer our country could well occur over the next 15 months”.
I think the swamp creatures have a plan to remove Trump before the voters have a chance to replace them.
I could see spending that kind of money defeating a democrat.
But a conservative republican tells one what they are all about.
You just hate turtles....
Are you perhaps trying to re-imagine current events to fit your own narrative?
Roy Moore was not the Trump candidate, his opponent Luther Strange was. Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump are not opponents. They and Senator Strange, were all on the same team backing LindseyGrahamCare, the Democrat budget, raising the national debt, etc..
McConnell lost and Trump won w/o doing the political bad thing by going against a sitting Senator who had been nothing but supportive. If Trump had come out for Moore and McConnell had managed to buoy Strange, it would have been a disaster for Trump. Now McConnell is the real loser because Trump didn’t step on any toes and can get 100% behind the Moore campaign.
Ditch Mitch.
$30M??? What a waste of money. These congressional and leadership PACs need to be outlawed. In this case Mitch was throwing around money like a drunken dempcrap.
With Mitch it’s simple. He’s been absolutely ineffective at moving a single piece of legislation through so he is either incompetent or actively obstructing the head of his party, the President. There is no third option. It doesnt really matter which it is, in either case he needs to go. Same for Ryan.
McCain, Collins, Murkowski, Capito, Portman, and a few others are liberals at heart.
McCain is dying and will not run again. He's free to be his liberal heart.
Capito could be primaried and in this current climate in west Virginia, it would probably yield a more conservative repub senator.
Collins is dangerous. She's the most liberal in the repub senate, moreso than many democrats. She could easily switch parties, and a democrat will likely win her seat in liberal Maine if she chooses to retire. Primarying her would turn the seat democrat, but at least you'd know the real score. On the other hand, if it flips control of the senate, that is a big loss.
Murkowski is in a state that is not a sure win for repubs in congressional races.
Portman is also in a state that is a 50/50 proposition. Portman votes conservative when he has cover, like what John McCain provides. OTOH, his constituency is conservative, so he must carefully pick his liberal votes. As a congressman he voted and talked extremely conservative in OH 02 district. The Bushes either converted him or allowed him to come out of the closet a bit. Bottom line, he isn't trustworthy.
Losing these seats would flip the Senate to democrat control. That would ruin appointments and minor legislative advance.
McConnell knows all this and walks on eggshells to keep his power.
