This weekend on WHAS Radio, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said border wall funding would “probably” have to wait until after midterms.

Sunday President Donald Trump’s tweet threatening a government shutdown if a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border was not funded.

When asked if wall funding would have to wait until after the midterms, McConnell said, “Probably and that’s something we do have a disagreement on.”

When asked about a government shutdown McConnell said, “No, that’s not going to happen.”

No, Mitch, it can’t.

Everything else you want to do, however, can.

We are damn tired of your bullsh!t, GOP.

Why? We control Congress now. It is possible that after the mid-terms the dimoKKKRATs could retake Congress. Is this what Mitch wants?

“after midterms”

I.e., about the time hell freezes over.

Love how McConnell comes out and says no money before the midterms.

It’s like the GOPe saying to President Trump, “You’ll get no help from us.”

Damn straight!

That guy is the biggest prick in government right now, followed by Paul Ryan.

They have stifled opportunity at every turn but one, the Tax Cut bill.

Then McConnel and Ryan should get ready for a veto, if Trump
keeps the promises he has made on numerous occasions.

McConnell and his buddy Ryan are determine ti make it look like they support Pres. Trump but are doing everything possible to make him fails. RINOs are just as deceitful as the Democrats.

We control Congress now.

"We" don't control Congress. "We" don't control much of Congress at all. "They" control Congress.

This is really frustrating.

I detest the GOP.

Just shut it down, Mr. President. All of it, and leave it shut down too. And shut off 100% of all immigration until the wall is complete.

President Trump is not one to back down, but he does start with an extreme negotiating position.

I suspect rather additional funding for border protection will be deemed “funding for the Wall” based on how the President has been managing Congress so far.

Is there a good form letter to send to this bozo to build the wall NOW?

McConnell is a man who seems old, visionless, and sorely lacking in inspiring leadership talents!

Good time to remember Brannon’s line: we have to vote for some RINOs this fall to save Trump from impeachment...
