Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell responded to Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon’s decision to go to war against the Republican establishment in the upcoming Senate Republican primaries on Monday.

“You have to nominate people who can actually win because winners make policy and losers go home,” McConnell said when asked about Bannon by reporters at the White House.

Yes, WINNERS do make policy; therefore, by definition McConnell is NOT a “winner”. Step aside, Mitch, or get run over, to make way for WINNERS.

Not so plain to me, please explain the win of Judge Moore versus the loss of Luther Strange.

Mitch, Steve will show you what winners are. After, you'll be a loser...😀. Say bye to your leadership, Mitch.

Mitch, those who can do, those who can’t teach, those that can neither do, nor teach become civil servants and politicians.

You have stated it correctly, Mitch McConnell.

But Bannon is doing better than the GOPe in picking winners.

What exactly is Mitch's point?

There has been no meaningful legislation from the greatest deliberative body for at least 5 years.

Obwuanna ruled by dictate, executive orders and Mitch twiddled his thumbs.

They do not know how to legislate or put together a coherent budget.

Trump wins any time he asks them to legislate on DACA, Iran, AHA. The senate is sclerotic and as stale as Hillary's pantie liner.

McConnell does neither. Pick an option, Mitch - pass some legislation or go home.

That one is easy. Alabama voter support for Roy Moore goes back a long ways. It’s real simple. Winning politicians persuade more voters to support them than the losers. Alabama is different than a RINO state like Maine. Bitching about RINO politicians is a waste of time. You have to reach the voters.
