Why? The Tea Party is D E A D, doncha know?
Seriously, taking out Cochran and Graham should be followed by leaving McConnell to die in the general. McConnell is a traitor every bit as much as Bergdahl.
Having McDaniel, Bright join Lee, Cruz and others will give Senate conservatives some real teeth. Conservatives can still take the Senate even without McConnell.
I love the smell of Coup de Tea Party in the morning!
A Republican Party with better, more principled leadership might be able to generate some support from dems on some issues. Energy production issues are an example.
cotton1706, I’m from Northern KY, I’ve commented to several that if Bevin loses to Mitch in the primary, I’ll hold my nose and vote for Grimes in the general. I’d hear the carp about not taking the senate. But when Mitch called the TP racist, they, including my wife & son, will probably vote Grimes. I definitely will.
Mitch forced Sen Bunning to retire because Bunning filibustered how the unemployment bill would be paid for. Then ACA comes around and Mitch allowed ACA to get threw the senate. The Senate is where the minority can procedurally kill any bill. Mitch made the political decision to let ACA the Senate, assuming the Stupak 7 would stop it. Stupak caved & now works for Planned Parenthood and the American people are dealing with ACA. Thanks to Mitch.
Mitch goes down in general, God willing and the river don’t rise.
I like it.
