Mitch gave us Murkowski. He helped her write in campaign to defeat the GOP nominee. McConell is a rat.

And his record is terrible.

Why do the good people of Kentucky keep voting for this guy?

I’ll never understand why Republicans kept voting for people like John McCain, John Boehner, Paul Ryan and Lindsey Graham. Can they not see how they are ruining this country?

If it takes a loss in the general election to get rid of these people, then do it.

We are 27 trillion dollars in debt.

Stop the insanity.

Ask Dominion. They probably know.

Rand caves to McConnell when critical votes are on the table.

Rand didn’t bother to object or abstain on Jan 6. He didn’t bother to hear the urgent pleas of many state legislatures asking for more time as credible outcome-deterministic fraud and irregularities emerged in their states moved them to reconsider their certifications.

And this was not the first time Rand bowed to McConnell, not by far. Rand has been followed from years ago when he was put in his place by McConnell regarding matters of the Tea Party. MAGA is viewed no differently and is targeted for the same treatment.

But Rand was allowed to oppose the unconstitutional impeachment because McConnell’s network of power views that impeachment as a bridge too far. Such an impeachment would cause a backlash thereby strengthening MAGA. The McConnell power nexus plans to marginalize MAGA and render Trump irrelevant.

In sum, Rand is part of the calculation. But he’s allowed to swing for the fences when no one is on base. And he sits on the bench when the bases are loaded.

They were not only terrible candidates they waffled back and forth on their support for Trump. The base saw that and didn’t trust them.

Hmmm...

This will make things easier. If McConnell is for a candidate in the primary, one can probably safely vote for another candidate.

This asshole basically allowed Warlock and Ossoff to run as “we will give you 2K and GOP won’t”. That’s why they won. It is his fault.

He lost the election along with the dopey governor and SOS who allowed the corruption to continue.

He needs to stay the hell out of Georgia.

[[[McConnell said ‘electability’ was the main factor for him rather than any particular brand of Republicanism.]]]

Yes, lets double down on failure. Precisely why the GOP is where it is.

The Georgia debacle was pre-ordained when the cuck GOP officials in Georgia made a deal with the devil regarding the consent decree.

Because every election cycle, we are forced with never changing option of “it’s us or the communists”.

Funny tihing is, when examine them closer, you see that they very similar. In it for themselves.

Bingo. Then we get amnesty no matter who is in control of Congress, and after that they won’t even need to rig the votes like they did the last time.

Why would Trump concede anyway in 71 of the cases of voter fraud the judges wouldn’t allow evidence because of lack of standing as Rand Paul pointed out...the pollster from Trafligar confirmed it he had the GOP winning easily till McConnells comments and the sending foreign aid overseas at which point their polling collapsed

Electability is nothing if voters stay home and the voting machines decide who wins

“Let’s see, he picked Loffler and Purdue and they lost. They lost because the conservatives didn’t like them.”

Governor Kemp picked Loeffler to fill Isakson’s unfinished term. She was a terrible candidate in the “jungle” primary, in the general election, and in the runoff. Collins would have been a much stronger candidate in a runoff against Warnock. There was no excuse for conservatives not supporting Perdue in the runoff against Ossoff. 350,000 voters, primarily deep red districts, who voted for Trump in the November general election failed to show up on January 5th.

Conservatives need to make him toxic by voting against anyone he endorses in 2018. If he endorses 15 candidates and all 15 lose, that will take the bastard down a notch.
