While it’s not likely to get passed, having a list of key items to push would keep the Democrats off balance and set the stage for 2024. If the GOP sits back in the interim, the media will write the narrative. And they will blame the GOP for making things worse.

"Republicans Plan To Win Back The Senate, Then Do Nothing, Per Usual"

Past history gives overwhelming evidence.

Pray God Almighty that every RINO who must face a primary this year is sent packing and replaced with a constitutional patriot. That is the only way things will change, and if the actions of the RINO traitors in 2020 are not enough to oust them, then we are doomed.

The major thing the Senate might help on, imo, is with the USSC picks and to totally stop the idea of packing the court. Only other thing I think it would help with is stopping them from getting rid of the filibuster and having 1-party rule.

GOP hoping voter disgust with the rats will carry them to victory without having to actually commit to doing the voters’ will.

As usual

“McConnell and GOP senators seem prepared to run solely on a platform detailing how bad the other guy is, and that scrupulously and intentionally avoids discussing what they intend to do about it.”

That’s fine if it’s just an election strategy. If you can get people to the polls solely based on a “the other guy stinks” motivation, then why not? Any agenda you do put forward is going to turn off some voters, while no agenda leaves it as a contest of sentiment, and sentiment won’t favor the Dems right now.

My suggestion is that President Trump should only endorse Senate candidates who pledge to not support McConnell for reelection as majority leader. Republicans who refuse to caucus with the rest of the Republicans can easily prevent the GOP from having a Senate majority. That is a powerful threat and they should use it. It’s not true that we need a majority of Senate Republicans in order to dump McConnell as leader. We only need a few willing to withhold their caucus membership until the remaining GOP senators will back an alternative. At least, that is my understanding of how it works.

Unless we elect different Republicans, nothing will change.
Most of the GOP Senators are Assistant Democrats.

In other words, McConnell and GOP senators seem prepared to run solely on a platform detailing how bad the other guy is, and that scrupulously and intentionally avoids discussing what they intend to do about it.

In other words, the only thing that McConnell learned was to run a basement campaign like Joe Biden did.

Like that's a bad thing.

Raise your hand if Congress has ever done anything positive for you...That they didn't come back and take away later.

A bunch of waste-of-skin RINOs doing nothing, IMO, is still better than the psychotic Democraps running us pedal-to-the-metal straight towards Hell. I’ll take anything I can get.

Republicans play the game for the sake of playing the game.

Democrats play to win.
