Mitch McConnell Embraces His Dark Side
Apple News ^ | 05/19/2019 | Burgess McEverett

Posted on 05/19/2019 7:30:33 AM PDT by goldstategop

Call him “Cocaine Mitch,” “Nuclear Mitch,” or the steward of the “legislative graveyard.” Mitch McConnell says he’s the “Grim Reaper” anyway, so he’s loving every minute of it.

While his critics have tried to make the Kentucky Republican public enemy No. 1, the Senate GOP leader has embraced the demonization in a bid to protect his Senate majority, his own seat and his title as longest serving Senate GOP leader in U.S. history

The Democrat agenda is dead thanks to the GOP Senate. In a divided Washington, learn to love gridlock.

No worries here from this conservative,

The plus is the courts are being made over with Trump appointments, They last for a lifetime and are of critical importance.

No wonder Democrats are up in arms. They can’t stop it.

#### the Rs who didn’t help Trump in the house and lost.

What did they ever do for us?

SO MUCH should have been sent to Trump’s desk the first two years.

They are POS more than conservatives, that’s for sure.

If they sent a balanced budget, gave ALL the money needed for the wall, etc., I would miss them a lot more.

As for the power the house now has to bother Trump, all it is doing is gaining sympathy and support for the president.

We could do worse. I’m glad Chuck U will never run the upper chamber.

Apple News?

So “Apple News” is saying the wonderful things the House is trying to do being stopped by mean Mitch? Generally Mitch is a hopeless RINO but at least he knows the deadly pathogen that is the House must be contained.

The House has the power of the purse but that’s all. The Democrats don’t have an agenda apart from harassing the President and his family.

Music to my ears. I hope they run on Russia in 2020 for these days, its all they have.

Not so many months ago, Mitch and Paul RINO were often denounced in tandem on this forum.

While McConnell may not be everything we might desire in a Senate leader, he has some solid accomplishments, particularly standing strong during the Kavanaugh atrocity.

Ryan, on the other hand, did nothing but hurt the Republican brand.

Other than on judges - important I agree - what difference would it make? What have Mitch and Senate GOP done to build the wall and secure the border?

Socialism is the pathogen that would kill this country. Its bottled up in the Senate and it will stay that way.

No apologies are needed to keep the Democrat agenda in the Senate graveyard.

Mitch McConnell Embraces His Dark Side

I don't even want to know what that means. Mitch is a politician in it for his political career.

The Democrat agenda is dead thanks to the GOP Senate.

It's thinking like that that gets us the Bushes, Clintons and Obamas of this world to prove to you the Left, as Satan himself, is alive and well on planet earth.

The fight for faith and freedom never ends and the Mitch McConnells of this world are part of the problem.

The reason why the GOP kept the Senate is it confirmed Kavanaugh. That issue brought out the GOP base in the midterms for the Senate.

If Manchin runs for WVA Governor and wins - a Democrat will fill the seat. I’d like to see him get out of the Senate.

He’ll never accomplish anything as a Democrat.

And I don’t even know anything about that stuff.

I would love for Republican strategists to have read a lot on that subject.

I prefer “China” Mitch as it reflects the true roots of Yertle’s dirty self-dealing.
