BREAKING: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz calls for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to step down.
Cruz said when asked if it’s necessary for McConnell to step down as Senate leader, “I think it is.”
Other Republican senators have had enough of McConnell as well.
Sen. Ron Johnson likewise said McConnell’s strategy was “fatally flawed” when he “entered into this secret negotiation with Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer.”
“It normalizes thousands of people a day,” Johnson said of the bill. “It probably undermines the future president’s ability to secure the border by having things like a discretionary threshold.”
Sen. Rick Scott criticized McConnell for excluding most of the GOP conference from helping negotiate the terms of the bill.
“McConnell decided we’re not going to have something that forced a lawless administration to secure the border, and so this is where we are.”

That would be glorious. However, I don't see the Republicans embracing a fiscal conservative. Out of the Republicans running for the presidential nomination, Doug Burgum is probably the closest to being a fiscal conservative and he got trounced. If Rand Paul completed the Texas paperwork to be a write-in candidate for president, I would vote for him is a heartbeat. Same goes for Thomas Sowell.
“McConnell got Trump’s Supreme Court picks confirmed.”
And how’s that workin’ out for us? They’re pretty awful. I’ll bet Trump’s picks weren’t Trump’s picks. More like Yertle handed him a list of middle-of-the-roaders that he would confirm.
Yep. Definitely not impressed.
“Mitch is quite old and worn.”
I can almost tolerate “old and worn”. But he’s corrupt. Intolerable.
I think this is simply an answer to a question Cruz is giving. A “call” would be something he initiates. (That’s how I see it, anyhow.)
They are trying to survive. Like a drowning person, they will pull any rescuer under.
This is what Government-by-900-FBI-Files looks like.
Not the first time Cruz has called for this, not by a long shot.
Cruz has even run against McConnell as Republican Leader in previous sessions.
Shoulda done this 10 years ago,
Mitch does what Chucky wants, because Chuck has the extortion goods on Mitch from CHYNA!
OUT WITH MITCH!
Mitch has got to go. He’s working for the far left Dung Beetle Party. He made sure Fidel’s boy, Mayorkass, kept control of the so called Department of “Homeland Security” and kept the foreign invasion of America on track. McConnell is a traitor.
It’s hard to take THE Uniparty (R) kingpin down. His is the black hand manipulating the puppet strings of most of the Judas pubbies in the Senate. If this POS goes, it’ll be up to the voters of Kentucky or Satan calling him home.
Reminded of the right action on his part, I think it’s likely I would agree.
Inducing Mitch to step down would not be a bad strategy at all for the Senate Republicans. He surely is not presenting the case for conservative governance.
But power once seized in the Senate is not easily taken back. And Mitch is not a gracious person.
Time to DITCH MITCH.
For all people complain about Cruz, he is one of the very best Senators we have.
Well he did stop Garland, we got that I guess. But on balance he has been a disaster for the conservatives.
On the other side, I love to see Scummer have the big one on TV.
Secondly, he ain't bein' primaried.
Nothing but tomato cans thrown at Miotch since the very beginning where he edged Huddleston in the general.
In Miotch's first primary in '84, they ran 3 tomato cans at him, who split 21% among themselves evenly, like 3 Scotsmen and one wet match LOFL.
Here was the tomato juice spilled in 2020:
Here's a view on the tomato-canned runner-up:
"Golden referenced news coverage of Morgan’s loss in the 2018 Republican state House primary to Deanna Frazier. In a Facebook post on election night, Morgan announced that he was leaving the Republican Party and supporting the Democratic nominee, Morgan Eaves.Owns a liquor package store. LOFL.“Tonight the GOP lost a true conservative and patriot. I will no longer be associated with the Republican Party,” Morgan wrote.
The next day, Morgan said he had changed his mind."
I was living in KY in 1984 and voted for McC; over the years I have figured out that we would have been better off with Huddleston.
