Mitch McConnell ATTACKS Steve Bannon During Joint Presser with Trump
GP ^ | 10/16/17 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/16/2017 3:15:22 PM PDT by Enlightened1

It’s on!
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed Steve Bannon on Monday during his joint press conference with President Donald Trump.

McConnell has failed to pass ANY significant legislation since President Trump entered office in January.
Nothing!

 

Former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon announced his plans to replace the deadbeat Republicans who trash President Trump and stall the conservative-populist agenda in Washington DC.
Last week Steve Bannon warned the GOP elites, ” We’re going to cut off the oxygen to Mitch McConnell.”

McConnell didn’t like that.

Today McConnell lashed out at Steve Bannon for going after GOP senate seats in the 2018 election.

Mitch McConnell: The goal here is to win elections in November… My goal is to keep a senate majority. The way you do that is not complicated. You have to nominate people who can actually win because winners make policy and losers go home. We had one skirmish in 2016. We kept the majority in the senate. So our operating approach will be to support our incumbents and in open seats to seek to nominate people who can actually win.

If Bannon has no power and nobody will follow his suggestions, wouldn’t McTurdle be better off just ignoring him rather than elevating him to the level of the most powerful office in the US Senate?

**********************************************************
This is true. By taking a shot at him, what McTurdle has actually conveyed is that he is very much aware of the very real threat Bannon (and patriots) pose to him and his “Club” members.

I can see clearly Mitch McConnell and Jeff Sessions coming out as Gay lovers and marrying each other.

“...You have to nominate people who can actually win....”
Mitch McConnell, 10/16/17.
*********************************************************
That’s right Mitch, for election or reelection, let’s not nominate people who can’t win.

People such as:

Kelly Ayotte (after McCain and Little Lindsay Graham converted her from Tea Party to RINO

Heather Wilson

George Allen

Mark Kirk

Tommy Thompson

etc., etc.

Who did you want to run? Give us a real name rather than an attack on Kelli.

FTA: You have to nominate people who can actually win because winners make policy and losers go home.

>><<

The winners have refused to make policies supporting Trump’s
agenda so they are the ones who must go home.

Kelli Ward is ahead of the despicable Flake by double digits. Why do you think she is not a strong candidate?

You could have fooled me, with Gorsuch as your ONLY win period. You have LOSER written all over you and the GOP senate. And you did it to yourselves.

I support the POTUS, but not McConnell.

Any show of “unity” or attempt by the GOPe and RNC, the Congressional leadership to link themselves to Donald J. Trump is irrelevant to me.

Until we see 200 plus Donald Trump’s in Congress, things will not change for the better in this country.

What's the point of having a senate majority if you don't pass any pro-conservative legistlation?
