Elect republicans!
WTF is the matter with those people?
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...
Unanimous .... well no....
“A Senate GOP official says McConnell was elected by acclamation today at a closed-door meeting of the rank and file.”

Depends on what rank and file means....
I know we are not supposed to judge a person by looks but there is something about the man that screams out to me he isn’t very bright and is the type of person one would use as a patsy.

One problem Mitch already has: in 2016, about 24 Republican senate seats and only 10 Democrat senate seats are up for reelection.
If Mitch folds too many times, he may see his Majority Leader position short lived.

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.
Mitch is what is wrong with DC. Step aside.
I’m sure the Jarrett Administration is pleased.
How is this possible, if the new Senate isn’t there yet??
Can you say “the fix is in”?
So Ted Cruz voted for him.
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.
Please include “BARF Alert” in title.
SO why did Cruz bother to act coy when asked if he would vote for McConnell as leader?
