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.

Hope Kelli can. Not a strong candidate. Her opportunism is palpable and unbecoming. Think time for better candidate.

Stop.

Kelli is leading big against Flake in the polls. And she's for the Trump agenda.

She is the better candidate.

But Mitch “Obama’s biotch” McConnell would never dream of attacking Pelsoi, Schumer or Obama! What a turd this guy is.

Obama's best friend in the Senate. And now opposes Trump on everything. Useless POS.

I was only listening to the conference, what was Trump doing while Mitch said this stuff. I just picture him smiling, thinking, “keep smiling”.

I support President Donald Trump. No one voted for Steve Bannon. It is more important and beneficial to hold the House and Senate Republican, while motivating the GOP to support our President. That is what I see happening here.

“We are probably now, at least as far as I'm concerned, closer than ever before,” Trump said, declaring a friendship with McConnell that predates either man’s life in politics. “The relationship is very good.”

Sorry, but you’re swallowing the GOPe’s propaganda. Moore is going to be elected in Alabama to the Senate this year and many more like him will join him in the Senate in 2018. And they will ALL support Trump’s agenda — unlike many of the RINO weasels there now.

The shredder is ready for their mailings as well where I live.

My GOP congressman uses fear of Nancy Pelosi to try to cajole people into supporting him.

But Paul Ryan and his ilk like my congressman (who uses the “Freedom Caucus” as cover for his constant support of leadership like Ryan and Boehner before that) just move the country in the same deeper in debt direction Pelosi would as told to by big banks and big corporations.

I’m supporting President Trump. I want him to succeed, not be impeached. I’m not tired of winning yet; I’m very tired of losers.

Like I said, you’re gullible and swallowing the RINOS’ propaganda. Fortunately, most of us are not like you.

Neither will be in the general as they will split the anti Flake vote in the primary.

Arizona is pro Trump. Kelli is pro Trump. Kelli wins the general, I promise.

Really cannot understand your position on Ward. The Dems are rising in Arizona. That fact changes the analysis big time. Every kookie thing Ward has ever done or said will be shouted out over and over and Dem candidate will look sooo cool.

Why would a pro Trump Arizona vote for a Democrat over a pro Trump Kelli?

They won’t. I will vote for Kelli. But most Pubs in Arizona are still owned by the McCain machine. Trump’s support in Arizona weakening as we speak. Ducey rising. The Dems turn out the vote big time.

The Mormon vote cannot be relied upon.

Kellie will not get one Dem vote.

Someone from AZ.need to weigh in here.
