Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called out former President Donald Trump’s dwindling political influence and vowed that the Republican Party will not accept his preferred candidates in 2024.

“Here’s what I think has changed: I think the former president’s political clout has diminished,” McConnell told NBC News, taking a shot at the 76-year-old former commander-in-chief.

The Senate GOP leader, in the Wednesday interview that was reported Friday, added that (he) will “actively look for quality candidates” for the 2024 primaries

To Mitch, a “quality candidate” is one who will say and do exactly what he is told, never rock the boat, and ignore the will of those who elected him. In return, the “quality candidate” will fill his bank and investment accounts with the rewards of his subservience.

Mitch is correct. More and more Republicans are becoming openly critical of Trump. Trump’s effort to oust McConnell as Senate minority leader failed miserably and Trump’s choice to be Speaker of the House was a hard sell. McCarthy ended up making many concessions to get the votes.

We are either never going back to McTurdle’s version of “quality candidates” or the GOP finally dies once and for all.

McSally is rested and ready to lose Arizona for the 3rd time.
That’s his kind of candidate.

The Turtle is more popular with Democrats than with Republicans.

What else do you need to know?

“Mitch is correct.”

From the artilce, Mitch said:

<>the “entire nation knows who is responsible for” the Jan. 6 Capitol riot after the House select committee referred criminal charges against Trump to the Justice Department. <>

I’ll remain with President Trump.

Projection and deflection! Turtle has those liberal tactics down pat almost as if he is one of them.

The Turtle fell and cracked his shell
Now can’t talk, not doing well
With luck he’ll heal and cross a street
And be where tire and roadway meet

Good luck finding conservative voters Mitch. I said along cut the money stream and don't vote GOP. Don't worry, the result will be the same. GOP and RATS are one party and we are the fools who follow them.

Only then will they learn, but even that is doubtful. Short of a third party, vote locally to protect your communities. Take care of your families and friends. As J6 proves the call for violence is manipulated by Fed "law enforcement" (sarc). In ten years or less they will not need humans to manage us they will have AI. We are the cannon fodder in their quest for power. This is what both parties want so why do we keep voting for them pretending it will some how be different?
