Sen. Mitch McConnell says Trump turned off GOP voters by making party look ‘sort of nasty’
The Washington Times ^ | 24 Dec | By Mica Soellner

Posted on 12/25/2022 8:54:06 PM PST by RandFan

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said former President Donald Trump‘s influence is waning, reiterating his blame towards his political foe for GOP shortcomings in the midterms.

Mr. McConnell, who has had an increasingly strained relationship with Mr. Trump since the 2021 Capitol riot, said Mr. Trump helped cast voters an unappealing image of the Republican Party that broke the trust of the electorate.

“We lost support that we needed among independents and moderate Republicans, primarily related to the view they had of us as a party — largely made by the former president — that we were sort of nasty and tended toward chaos,” Mr. McConnell told NBC News.

Mr. McConnell added: “And oddly enough, even though that subset of voters did not approve of President Biden, they didn’t have enough confidence in us in several instances to give us the majority we needed.”

Republicans greatly fell short of expectations in a year that was anticipated to be a “red wave.”

The GOP only narrowly took control of the House, while Democrats kept their hold on the Senate.

Mr. McConnell said he would be actively seeking “quality candidates” for 2024 after he said Republicans underperformed in every state.

The Kentucky Republican said the GOP‘s performance was “fatal” in Arizona, New Hampshire, and Georgia.

What has McConnell done in the last 20 years?

After his past week’s performance, Mitchie Poo has decimated the GOP base.
He’d be wise to just STFU and pass quietly into the night.

He’s a crypto-communist, so he’s not going to stop. He’s likely under orders, he’s at a point of wealth that he has enough for multiple lifetimes, so he can’t possibly be working strictly for more gain. He’s probably scared that he’s going to be exposed one day.

Trump is just more transparent.

The other politicians are much nastier, but for the most part, their nastiness takes place behind closed doors.

No, Mitchy.

You did that all by your lonesome (with a little help from your co-conspirators).

McConnell fails to support the Trump-backed candidates with the $$$$ he controls then blames Trump for the losses he McConnell helped to create by withholding the money.

McConnell has done his job well, duped the GOP base long enough to complete the transformation of our nation into a permanent uni-party kleptocracy which cannot be undone at the ballot box.

I guess the best economy in 30 years was "nasty". I guess a closed border was "nasty". I guess gas at $2/gal was "nasty".

I guess it was all of those "mean tweets™"

I wonder if McConnell really knew how most TRUE conservatives felt about him?

No other Republican could have possibly beaten Hilliebich. Demonrats do not comprehend “nice”. To them it’s only a sign of weakness, to be driven into the dirt.

That’s why China Mitch is running his mouth, because this is the lull in fundraising. He acted while he wanted donations.

McConnell with Lindsey Graham protected Joe, Hunter, and brother James for 1,460 days while they had subpoena power’

Mitch is expressing his OWN thoughts and feelings and then attributing to others.

Hey, Mitch, the Republican was doing very well for the first time in years and THEN YOU AND YOUR WIMPIE ATITUTIDE PULLED US BACK INTO THE LOSER PARTY THAT YOU LOVE.

Hey, Mitch, switch to the Dims, they are not SO NASTY.

Talk about someone living in a bubble...I give you MITCH McConnell...please God let him switch parties, the he can be a “nice” person again...without BEING NASTY.

If the goal is to have more Republicans in office, then maybe Mitch is right.

If the goal is to get people in office who will get things done that better this nation, then you want people like Trump.
