Yertle should have been replaced by Matt Bevin already

Gotta hear it from someone in the Senate besides Cruz, Lee and Paul.

Rand Paul as Senate Majority Leader would be a game-changer.

There’s a multi candidate field in that primary that includes the religious conservative Roy Moore.

Some say Moore would be better because he actually was willing to take actions that got him removed from office.

Moore stood up to the federal courts twice and was removed by state “establishment” authorities as Chief Justice in the state of AL.

The Freedom Caucus that Mr. Brooks comes from is portrayed as conservative speechmakers who talk a talk.

Saying McConnell should go is not enough. This list is too long in the Senate and House. I’ve even heard 99 percent of them should be replaced.

Who care? The GOP is a party of losers. I am glad I dropped my affiliation last year after voting for Trump. Worthless turds. They all campaigned on lies.

Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., said Friday that it's time for new leadership in the Senate

Is new leadership going to get the Democrat-lite faction - McCain, Murkowski, Collins, Graham - to vote differently? It's time for a new party to represent conservatism - I don't know what the GOP represents anymore - we already have the Democrats to take care of Big Government, so the GOP really isn't needed there.

Maybe we should find out why Mitch left the Army on 1967 after just a few months.

The real reason.

Maybe that would grease the skids for him to leave his leadership position.

A real leader would have bounced McCain and Murkowski from the Committee chair positions this morning.

Not to worry—McConnell will allow them to stay in their Committee Chairs.

Even with one eye, Harry Reid would never allow such a debacle to take place.

Just wait for the traitorous ‘Songbird’ to croak — hopefully any day now — and try again.

The Republicans could hold 90 seats in the senate, and they would still cave to the Democrats.

Yeah right, where are you going to find that in the Republican Party?

since Republicans were hoping healthcare reform would free up money for other priorities like tax reform and infrastructure.

Or, how about don't spend the money you "save" and instead start trying to bring the debt down...
