In the fantasy they promote, Biden is a man of integrity. Mitch, McCarthy, and Biden lead the country and pass more legislation together than any other leadership in History.

The family of McConnell's wife Elaine Chao has extensive business interests in China and close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its allies.
When Chao was the secretary of transportation under President Trump, she allegedly used her office to promote her family's shipping business, and even tried to include family members in high-level meetings with top Chinese officials.
Politico reported that Chao had, “designated a special liaison to help with grant applications and other priorities from her husband Mitch McConnell’s state of Kentucky, paving the way for grants totaling at least $78 million for favored projects as McConnell prepared to campaign for reelection.”
If MAGA Republicans win during the midterms, they could pass laws that could place restrictions that could topple the gravy train for McConnell.
Mitch’s opposition to the MAGA movement is hence dictated by personal and pecuniary interests in addition to the usual urge politicians have to hold on to power
It is essential that the GOP unseats McConnell from his leadership position which will be a major step in dismantling the self-serving, self-promoting, self-preserving, corrupt, and nepotistic confederacy that is D.C. Democrat Establishment.

Yes, McConnell and McCarthy and all of their respective leadership teams need to go. Let’s get new people top-down in both the House and the Senate.
Ya think? Maybe we can find YET ANOTHER reason to keep him as Dear Leader until he dies of extreme old age. RINOs will RINO. The Senate is infected with them.
.
Mitch & McCarthy hope to run Pence in 24.
Pence gracefully loses and then praises Biden, and they can get back to Biden’s agenda for the country.
Way past time.
OK suppose we get 52 Senators. Now try to find 27 willing to ditch Mitch and vote for someone new.
Bump.
In a nut shell
The family of McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao has extensive business interests in China and close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its allies.
He needs to go or we will be hamstrung and nothing will get done because of this criminal and his friends
McConnell is 80, he’ll be gone soon.
The question is, who is the establishment Kentucky GOP lining up to replace him?
The man is one of the dinosaurs running our government. Anyone who votes for someone over 70 deserves what they get.
We cannot build a dynamic, energetic party without getting this rot out of the way.
This Veteran (who happened to serve a full enlistment) sees no reason to trust McConnell. We Republicans can do so very much better.
There’s zero doubt in my mind that McConnell and his wife could withstand a vigorous and honest investigation into their wealth enhancement while in public office.
Dump the Mc’s; McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniels.
“Now try to find 27 willing to ditch Mitch and vote for someone new.”
Follow the money. He who controls the flow of money has the power. Mitch seems very secure in controlling the campaign coffers.
Notice two things about this campaign:
1) The progressive GOP Senator Romney refuses to endorse Mike Lee, the other Utah GOP Senator in the current campaign. Mitch doesn’t seem to be pressuring Romney to support the party’s nominee.
2) Mitch has diverted Senate campaign funds from MAGA candidate in other states to support sitting GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski who lost the primary in Alaska, not the GOP winner.
As long as Mitch controls the allocation of big donor money, he will remain in power.
Past time to ditch Mitch....
McConnell fancies that his special skill set is deal-making. In a divided Senate, that has worked well for him, convincing both his own party and the Democrats that he's the person to be dealt with. He's blind to the notion that the Democrats have him figured out and they can manipulate him into making deals favorable to them. Just look at how eagerly McConnell turned the Treaty Clause of the Constitution upside down to help Obama get his Iran deal through the Senate. And then look at how Schumer rolled him on the reconciliation bill/infrastructure bill. And don't get me started on how McConnell always takes a government shutdown off the table every time the Debt Ceiling comes up in the news.
Anyway, if reports of a Red Wave are true and that the Senate could possibly go 55-45, then McConnell's special "deal-making" skill becomes irrelevant; anyone can lead a near super-majority.
If McConnell really believes that a super-majority is in the cards for the GOP, then he would be willing to cause the most fringe of those candidates to lose in order to keep a slim majority that needs his "deal-making" skills to survive, in his mind.
That's why McConnell is pulling the funding from "bubble candidates;" he thinks if they could lose, he can still be the power-broker that he used to be with a smaller majority. A larger majority will put too much pressure on McConnell to deliver a GOP agenda instead of compromising on a Democrat one, and might encourage a challenge from the right.
It's all about McConnell and his power, and not about doing what's right for the American people.
