Former President Donald Trump is blaming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for Republicans not winning more seats in the U.S. Senate, as their chances of flipping a majority in the chamber become more unlikely.
On Friday evening, shortly after Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly fended off Republican challenger Blake Masters, Trump took to social media to blame McConnell over the loss.
"Mitch McConnell, the Republicans Broken Down Senate Leader, does nothing about this. He’s too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa [Murkowski] of Alaska, when Kelly [Tshibaka] is FAR better."
The former president’s comments come as a handful of Senate Republicans sought to delay their leadership elections set for next week as they too have growing frustration with McConnell and other leaders.

Yes. And Blake Masters was an excellent candidate but Mitch knew he wasn’t a big fan if his so he did everything he could to destroy him. As a country, we would have been so much better off with a Senator like Masters. He ran circles around Kelly intellectually and morally. This one is all on Mitch and AZ cheating.
Rubio is a weakling so yes..for him to come out on this gives me hope that insiders are ready to dump mitch
Or they could just be trying to gain favors
“When maintaining your position as Senate Minority Leader meant more than actually taking the majority in the Senate.....”
What’s most important to McConnell is keeping the senate democrat. Always is. He hates being leader in a republican majority
Pay attention
Republican leadership will never figure out how to fix cheating. They’re happy with a loss.
“ Trump’s pick”
Trump backs who runs he doesn’t choose them.
How can Lake expect to win when the Senate went to the incumbent Dem?
“ wasnt Arizona one of the states that Mitch pulled financial support away from ???”
How do people not know tgat mcconnell pulled support from this race
McConnell works to lose the senate
I see so much crap about trump on here. Imagine McConnell campaigning for gop the way trump does. Now imagine trump running around not campaigning and also pulling funding from masters
Yet that’s exactly what McConnell did
Watch him. He’s in charge of the senate. He deliberately works with democrats
IMO, you don’t fix cheating, if the rules allow it, you engage in it.
Both sides need to play by the same rules, if one side is and the other refuses to play you get what happened on Tuesday.
Yertle the Turtle needs to take his Chicom bride and retire. I’m so sick of his “wise and clever” leadership. We need a firebrand in the Senate punching Schumer in the mouth everytime he opens it.
Never cheat trump has never cheated. They can’t even frame him yet people ascribe cheating to him as ‘everyone does it’ or ‘someone gave him his money’. No not true. He worked for it. He gets into politics and the cheating is out of control
How to deal with it
Don’t cheat
But imagine the extent of the cheating and deal with it
We are not dealing with it.
People from conservative broadcasters to FR posters to trump imagine tgat these are elections. They are not.
For the sake of your argument- gop would never win a cheating match w Dems. Gop members by nature don’t think like them
I don’t cheat - but I imagine how they cheat.
That’s how to do it. But you have to have a team of lawyers to watch them carefully - Lake is doing that. She knows they won’t let her win she’s fighting from that point of view. The people who want open borders will not allow her to win. She has to want to not allow them to take it from her and her constituents. She imagines how they cheat
She campaigns and gets support but doesn’t stop there. She sees who is against her knowing it is not an election but a cheat fest but she can’t accuse them or they’ll go after her for defamation you can see how they cheated in the past. The trick is to anticipate how they’re cheating and thwart it.
I understand your point, although there is one huge problem.
The other side owns the “justice” system lock, stock, and barrel. The rules are not even close to the same for both sides.
Our side cannot operate the same way as the Democrats.
That’s what trump was working for. He needs the support of the senate or he can’t do anything. Heck this group will work to keep him out of the White House
This gop senate cheats but always in favor of Dems.
I don’t believe that...
In fact, if you look at all the Congressional Races, the one state that saved the Republicans was New York.
The Democrats proposed a congressional map that was so gerrymandered the Republicans sued and won and got a much more competitive map which allowed them to win quite a few new seats, the head of the DCCC lost his election because of this. The judge that ruled on the Republican suit was a Cuomo appointed Judge.
Legalizing cheating makes it fair game for everyone.
For example, the mass mailing of ballots to everyone makes ballot harvesting legal, the Democrats own that, the Republicans refuse to play and get crushed to the point Democrats don’t even campaign anymore, they raise money to trash their opponents and sit home and wait.
If you sit back and allow yourself to be screwed, then you deserve what happens.
One man cannot fix a whole rotten lazy corrupt party conspiring to work with the dems to get a cut on the loot. He is at least chasing down the cockroaches that have made up the party.
If you saw this in a boxing match you would know it was rigged, but naah, we blame Trump?
Mitch has got to go.
The Turtle never wanted a majority. McConnell , McCarthy and McDaniel( RNC Chump) all need to go!!!!
THe GOPe wants to get back to "normal".
McConnell will have a much easier job as minority leader. He is an operator, not a leader.
We desperately need a change in leadership - long overdue for McConnell and McCarthy to go.
