Elect republicans!
WTF is the matter with those people?
WOOO HOOO we won! /s
They are all EXEMPT, Senators and their Staff,
from the “Laws” they force down the throats of all others.
Does that make it clear?
I thought they didn’t do this until after the new Congress was sworn in.
Between this and the reports that the GOP isn’t going to defund Obama’s executive amnesty, the air has gone out of the wave election balloon.
The GOP: Pulling inertia from the jaws of momentum.
Well, he certainly has a lot of power over his fellow Republicans.
Republicans would have been better off with 53 senators and a new leader.
Post turtle?
Unanimously huh?
The ‘Uniparty’ strikes again...
That’s what I thought, too.
“Well, he certainly has a lot of power over his fellow Republicans.”
Harry Reid and Obama gave him a copy of the NSA and FBI files.
It would have been Cornyn, who would be even worse. McConnell is a bigger fighter by far than the alternative.

Most of the senators who lost their jobs in this election were old codgers. They were replaced by younger electees. That might signal that the voters are tired of the old codgers — and the 2016 senate might see many ‘old codger’ incumbents in both parties being sent into retirement.
It might.
