McConnell: 'Realistic Assessment' Senate Is in Play
Newsmax ^ | 26 May 2018 | Solange Reyner

Posted on 05/27/2018 12:22:52 PM PDT by Hostage

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell during an interview with Politico said there was a “realistic assessment” that the Senate landscape was in play during the upcoming midterm elections and poked fun at his campaign account's Narcos-inspired tweet aimed at Don Blankenship following the ex-convict's loss in the West Virginia primary.

“It’s very much in play. If you look at history, it’s pretty clear that two years into any new administration is dicey territory for the party of the president. I don’t think this year will be any different. The wind is going to be in our face,” McConnell said. “We have three vulnerabilities: Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee.”

Thank you Mitch McConnell. You sure are able to sink conservative candidates that don't agree with you and who refuse to bow before you. But you are equally able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

So down goes the GOP Senate and with it the confirmations of conservative judges who you have ensured were slow-walked, and congressional funding for the Wall, as well as so many other things that Americans are calling out for that you in your short-sided vision, think are somehow not worthy of your last full measure.

If the Senate is lost, the defeat lies at your feet.

The only reason it would be in play is because of GOPe RINOS like you, McTurtle.

With you in control, Mitch, it becomes a near certainty.

It may not be the only reason, but it clearly is one of the main reasons.

Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AZ and TN have two Amnesty Senators and NV’s Heller voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill. He’s afraid of losing Amnesty Senators.
AZ is being set up to elect McSallycain as the next Flake.
If that doesn’t work and AZ and TN nominate MAGA candidates, Mitch will help elect the Democrat like he does whenever the Bush League Republican loses the primary.

Yes, you have described the reality that so many of us find too horrible to think about.

How I wish McConnell would step down, but who could take over and who could ensure the GOP candidates get the best shot at victory?

McConnell said. “We have three vulnerabilities: Arizona, Nevada and Tennessee.”////

Nevada and Tenn already have presumptive GOP candidates. That leaves the turtle free to concentrate his war chest against Kelli Ward in AZ.

If McConnell, et al, would support the president’s agenda and get it done it’d be a Republican landslide.

Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all! End sanctuary cities, end anchor babies, end chain migration, end DACA! End the GOPe obstruction! Repeal ObamaCare! Move Trump’s judicial picks and other nominees through the senate!!

Thank you JR for laying out the issues by name. That’s precisely what leaders in Congress need to do to ensure a landslide.

I’ll pray the President and his campaign staff find a way to get McConnell pointed in the right direction! OR REPLACED WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL!

If trump could manage to have a MAGA rally every two weeks from here on out I believe he could hold the line or +1 in the Senate. He sells. Big time.

Most of the GOP Senate needs to be replaced.
There are just FOUR GOP Senators that side with the citizens and the rule of law.

Yes, it would.
But they can’t.
They are fully committed to the Bush Plan for North Mexico.

Trump should have renounced the GOP by July 2017 at the latest.
