Mitch McConnell deepens GOP civil war by warning he could OPPOSE Trump-backed candidates such as daughter-in-law Lara and Marjorie Taylor Green in favor of 'electable' Republicans
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 15 2021 | HARRIET ALEXANDER

Mitch McConnell has said he is open to opposing any 'unelectable' candidates in 2022, even if they are strongly backed by Donald Trump, as he wrestles with how to handle a deeply-divided party following Trump's impeachment hearing.

McConnell voted on Saturday to acquit the former president, but then publicly attacked him, accusing him of a 'disgraceful dereliction of duty' in his most critical remarks ever uttered.

His tightrope walk between defending and demonizing the former president impressed few.

At least McConnell seems to have done a good job about Trump’s judicial nominations and has been 100% pro-life while in office. Why he wants to pander to leftists now is beyond me.

Mitch gave us that rat mole Murkowski. He backed her write in effort against the GOP candidate for her first term. Mitch is a worthless POS.

I tried to tell people what Mitch was.

A big thanks to Mitch for proving me right.

Now, I want you to realize I’m right about the party also.

We needs new one, one whose leaders won’t feel free to go anti-American
on us.

Mitch is happy right where he is. As Senate Minority leader he gets all the perks of a leadership position and doesn’t have to do anything.

Actually, that’s pretty much how Mitch ran things as Majority Leader.

Here we go again with the “electable” Republicans.

Run your stealth leftist and enablers in R jerseys, GOP. We’ll see who votes for them.

>>Trash person. Exposing what he is.<<
McConnell has been so RINO-ish for years. We all keep fishing from the same ol pond, catching the same ol big mouth bass.

Until our side leans how to dump the republican party and make them THE 3rd party...we’ll keep having to put up with these people.

I grit my teeth every time I have to pull the lever for a republican. Except for a very few.

Gotta go to the Limey press to get any kind of truth in the media.

The Chi-Coms must be turning the screws on OLD Mitch...Romney, Murkowski, et al...

They have now completely shown their allegiance...and they want total R division heading into 2022...

As observed this weekend, WE shall be witnessing a number of 57-43 Senate votes for the Harris/Biden, Amerika last, Chi-Com agenda...

This is what the GOP sunshine pumpers want us to roll over and support, more of McWeasals candidates who we know will stab us in the back as usual.

Mitch’s is now proclaiming that is any GOP candidate does not bow down to the GOPE and vow allegiance he will destroy at the ballot box and we are supposed to show undying loyalty to these aholes. Sadly some conservatives will bow their heads and say yes we made him beat the hell out of us and go back with their tails tucked, beg for forgiveness and await another bitch slapping by their masters.

It would seem that the GOPE control the levers of power in the GOP and they are not going to relinquish this control, thus the GOP cannot be reformed and cannot be taken over from all the posts and articles I have read, that leaves one option: it must be utterly destroyed in order for another real party to step into it’s place.

How does one destroy a political party? Not voting, no funds, actively pointing out to the suckers who still drink the kool-aid they are being lied to on a Goebbels like scale?

OMG! How politically tone deaf can one Turtle be?

Let’s see who McConnell endorses, and who PDJT endorses, and watch who wins.

You’re not sick of dynasties you’re just sick of particular politicians.

Dick Cheney was far better than his daughter.

Lara Trump isn’t Trump’s daughter. I’ve never seen a problem with her.

He’s not tone deaf. McConnel WANTS illegal immigration and a lot of other things we oppose.
