Rubio Suggests Senate Republicans Should Consider Ousting McConnell From Leadership
The Federalist ^ | 11/11/22 | By: Shawn Fleetwood

Posted on 11/11/2022 11:54:49 AM PST by Pollard

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio added himself to the growing list of GOP senators suggesting that the party must reevaluate its leadership in the upper chamber following Republicans’ disappointing performance in the 2022 midterms.

In a tweet posted Friday morning, Rubio called for the Senate GOP to postpone its currently scheduled leadership vote next week, saying that Republican members of the upper chamber must ensure party leadership is comprised of individuals willing to advance the will of GOP voters.

“First we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans (of every background) who gave us big wins in states like #Florida,” Rubio said.

he handled this year’s elections horribly, and he’s deep with Red China. He needs to go.

I know it’s more honest than the Dems, but my oh my Republicans like to air their grievances right out in the open for the whole world to see.

I don’t believe Sen Rubio to be an establishment rino. I see him more as a true moderate.

Rubio’s Hispanic backing speaks volumes. He’s emerged from his recent election war.......... battle tested.

He represents a young blossoming part of the GOP. Not the geezer crowd that Mitch reflects.

They ALL need to go:

McConnell
McCarthy
McDaniel
Trump
Graham
Romney

Time for the NEXT generation to take the reins

Jordan
DeSantis
Vance
Lake

Sorry Nina Burleigh Wannabes, Trump is just as much at fault as all the rest of the GOP-E

He had a Presidency and:

DID NOT FIRE FAUCI AND WRAY
Shoved the vaccines down our throats
Put the CEO of Exxon in his Cabinet
Allowed the Military-Industrial complex to continue to act like the NY Mob

Take what he did best and BUILD ON IT

Continue to bring home manufacturing and make it a North American/South American cooperation zone

Tell Europe to defend themselves, at THEIR COST

Tell the drug companies that any attempt to price discriminate against American citizens by not charging the same rate to foreign buyers will result in huge punitive actions, including criminal charges against drug company management

Sell arms to anyone who wants them and agree to our values.

Ban all Chinese companies from listing a security for sale in America unless they fully agree to all US regulations. Failure to do so will result in appropriation of that company’s assets

Immediately repeal the Patriot Act and start from scratch. Demand the FISA Court be fully transparent.

“Turtle has been a disgrace to that position since he took it.”

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21

Mitch’s treasure is in China and that’s where his loyalty is. He’s a traitor.

"Good. I’m thinking Mcconnell has that “Death
is near” look. Anyone else notice it?"

Yep. His lips appear really purple; like he's not getting
enough oxygen. He doesn't look healthy. What's his age --
about 80 now? And many criticize Biden & Pelosi as being
too old for the offices they hold. Yes much change
is needed everywhere.

We need to rid ourselves of 70 and 80 year old career politicians. It’s making us look like your grandfather’s party and that’s crippling us.

I have been saying for decades—three terms in the house and two terms in the senate and you need to go back home and live under the laws you created.

No more pensions. No more lifetime health care. No lobbying DC after you leave. Go back and be a private citizen.

Now THAT would change congress!!

Ya think? He never should have been there in the first place. Twenty years ago Rush was calling him “the turtle.”
