I’m doing a self-study of McConnell geared towards a summary profile of his Modus Operandi.
So far since the election he has concentrated on the only thing he has utility to offer. But he offers NO MESSAGE and is therefore no leader that can inspire turnout in 2016.
Unfortunately he thinks and I imagine a good number of the people around him think that he is the man for the job. So what is his job?
His job, as reported in Politico (http://www.politico.com/story/2014/11/mitch-mcconnell-2016-senate-elections-113123.html
), is to be the Rainmaker and to bring ‘grooming services’ to those up for reelection in 2016.
24 US Senators are up for reelection in 2016. and McConnell is their money gofer.
But if those incumbent Senators don’t have a message, then I foresee a slaughter in the 2016 election because I believe the democrats will regroup and come back with a vengeance, especially with a GOP that doesn’t know how to talk without a script.
Hence, it is crucial that Ted Cruz continue to become the voice of the Republican Party and that his views and mastery of the US Constitution be respected and subscribed to by the 24 incumbent GOP Senators.
For now McConnell is the weakest link in the chain. His utility is in campaign finance, not in bringing a surge of voters to the polls. But he thinks finance is all that is necessary; HE IS WRONG!
Somehow McConnell has to be put in his place which is as a support operative, not as a leader and voice for the party.
Houston, we have a problem .....
It took me a few days to filter through party options. I quickly settled into the Tea Party. It took me a few days longer to filter the 2016 candidates down to ONE - Cruz only. I've been monitoring him for years and he certainly has convinced NumbersUSA to always give him an A+ on reducing immigration. His principled stand and emotional oratory skills on display last night is going to give him hero status to tens of millions. I don't think Boehner and Mitch have clue as to the wave that is about to hit them.
