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.

What’s the point of winning if you’re not going to do anything once you win? Is this guy bright?

SKB responded by telling him he was going to AZ tomorrow to take out his precious Jeff Flake via Kelli Ward.

Bannon: The goal here is to do the business of the American people… My goal is to actually do something with a senate majority. The way you do that is not complicated. You have to nominate people who actually intend to fulfill their campaign promises and make the elitist losers go home.

Fixed it.

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

Our goal MUST be to take out the Amnesty Senators.

Flake, Hatch and Heller in 2018, Corker is quitting

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022.
McCain will be dead by then.

Bannon could take that Turtle blindfolded with his hands ziptied. Bring. It.

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

“My goal is to keep a senate majority”

And then do what? Piss it away?

Your inane comment, McTurtle, will cost you your Senate Majority Leader job!

Republicans WILL keep the Senate, but the GOPE is done! OVER! Finished! Ish kaput!

Start making your retirement plans, because after SKB kicks your GOPE ass in 2018, you will HAVE to retire!

Bannon should reply, “WIN elections? GAMES are won or lost.

This isn’t a GAME Yertle. It is the lives and property of the citizens of the USA.”

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

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

The same argument that gets recycled every election here at FR. If you don’t elect the RINO a Dem will win.

Like having RINOs in Congress is better than a Dem.

His goal may be to keep the majority, but his other goal is to prevent anything from passing, or even seeing a vote.

McConnell is the swamp.

Yes and we did that for you, what have you done since we gave you the total majority?

So far Bannon is 2-0 against the Turdle.
Moore won the runoff and Corker is retiring.
A great start for the RINO season.
