Would you follow a fool because the fool was a Republican?

No, and I wouldn't follow Mitch. It is so hard to get this point across but I'm going to keep at it.

Mitch is one guy, good bad or indifferent, one Senator out of a 100. This really isn't about him. It's about taking power away from Democrats. They are destroying America, stealing our freedom and our futures. They're evil and unrelenting.

No one man, not Mitch or anyone else, can keep me from going after these Democrats. They have to be stopped.

Registered Democrat voters in KY outnumber GOP voters in Ky.
McConnell only won his last election by 6%
He is despised more now than then.
In his last election, he did not trash conservatives.

So, it will only take a small % of conservatives staying home
or even voting for Grimes as payback to McConnell to finish him off.
You can see that Grimes is getting a lot more votes tonight than McConnell.
I predict angry conservatives will turn on McConnell for the way he trashed
us.

“I predict angry conservatives will turn on McConnell for the way he trashed us.”

And Mark Levin will encourage them. I think you’re right. McConnell is toast.

how a Republican majority will lead because I’m not interested.

Of course you don't care how a Republican majority will lead. You just want your team to win, principles are for suckers, and all of that.

Got it.

You're a low information, party first, liberal with no clear direction on how to get conservative goals accomplished.

Hint: You can't accomplish conservative goals with liberal leadership.

If you vote for a liberal, you are a liberal.

If McConnell loses in the general fine with me. Sick of all of the bad guys in both parties. Then the GOP can work to find someone else for next time. The goal has to be win the senate back without McConnell and Boehner. Worth a try.

You are either young and naive or a sad old fool.

you are truly blind. It isn't just the Democrats destroying our Republic.

Boehner and McConnel are equally complicit in destroying our Republic.

At this point I would take a RAT over either of these two evil frauds.

There is wisdom in your words. Thinking outside the box.

These entrenched traitors on our side must be removed from office. They cannot continue attacking and destroying the Conservative movement from within.

Levin has not endorsed it...yet. But he did mention targeting one
Senate race to send a message on last nights show.

McConnells race would be the one race to target.

My mistake. I know Boehner is in the House. But if he could lose the general would be icing on the cake.

What we’re trying to get across to you is that McConnell has been a handmaiden to the democrats. He has helped them get numerous bill through cloture. He voted for Amnesty in 2006 and helped get it through last year. He came up with that stupid debt deal in 2011, he came up with the Fiscal Cliff deal, the debt ceiling deal, the budget deal. All so there would be no votes before next year...mainly to protect himself. He has literally vowed to crush conservatives and undermined them in both the senate and the house at every turn.

He has been on the side of the democrats, and should he be Majority Leader, the democrats will have an ally in him. That’s why we advocate for his removal. So that the republicans in the senate can have new leadership, because Mitch won’t retire and he won’t step aside to let somebody else be leader.

Reid already has a supporter from Ky. His name is McConnell.

Ain't it the truth, brother.

[ If Bevin loses, I’ll be sending a financial donation to the Democrat challenger. McConnel must go, at all costs.

Talk like that makes me sick. No matter how bad Mitch is, all democrats are 200% worse. They band together to slime America, a national effort supported by every seat they win. If you’re that put off, don’t vote but for God’s sake, send Dems money?? ]

The problem is that if Mitch wins the general even if he squeaks by with less than a thousand votes he will still proclaim he still has a “mandate” on being the senate minority/majority leader.

If we took the senate and Mitch McConnell is in charge in Harry Reid’s seat there will not be much difference except maybe less rambling speeches about the Koch bros...

If we take the Senate.. it’ll be infinitely better than having Harry Reid in charge.

On top of that.. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee will get some reinforcements..

Ben Sasses and TW Shannon...

[ McConnell, 67,870 59%

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Did the GOP run a GOTV drive at the local loony bins? Really, who the hell are these people and what is their major malfunction? ]

Idiot “Bingo Lever Pullers” who took time from their Tuesday peaknuckle game to crank out another win for the idiot turtle face.
