How is this possible, if the new Senate isn’t there yet??

Can you say “the fix is in”?

At least it’s not Harry Reid.... Now that McConnell is in charge, we’re going to see Obama’s lawlessness challenged, votes to restore fiscal responsibility, border security, religious freedom restored, states’ rights restored, oh the bliss..../sarc.

McConnell was the leader of the GOP before they election, they won the election, so why change it. What’s wrong with us? That’s the question.

Ugh! This idea needs to stop! They’re not pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory because for them, this is victory. Do you understand? We were duped. Again! What is happening is what they want. There is no other explanation. Before the election they were exempt, feckless, rudderless, stupid, whatever other superlative we tossed around. They won. Why do they need to change anything? It’s time to stop projecting conservative values on these guys. It’s time we figure out they are what they are.

Cornyn’s cocky because Senate leadership won their elections.

Chop off a head and watch the urine flow.

SO why did Cruz bother to act coy when asked if he would vote for McConnell as leader?

Yeah, but don't they still have thousands of absentee ballots not due for a week?

>>...the air has gone out of the wave election balloon...<<

Reminds me of the election year (actual date escapes me) that representatives vowed to “build a border fence” before the election.

Shortly after the election, they failed to vote on a appropriations bill to fund the border fence they promised to build....to get elected.

This is the absolute last chance I will give the republican party to earn my vote.

I realize not everyone shares my conservative values all the time, but damn, how bout 50% of the time.

So much for those liars we just selected and their pledge not to support McConnell or Boehner. Are there enough lamposts?
