Democrats Still Control the Senate

Most Americans would be shocked to learn that the Democrats still control the Senate even after Republicans won the majority last year, but it is true.

Breitbart News reports:

"With two minor exceptions, every single vote that has passed the U.S. Senate since the beginning of this Congress in January has passed with at least – usually more than – 93 percent of support from Democrats."

Despite controlling the Senate, Republican leaders are passing bills that have more support from Democrats than Republicans.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has helped the Democrats pass funding for executive amnesty, pass the budget-busting "doc fix", and confirm numerous liberal nominees including Loretta Lynch for Attorney General.

All of this has Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) cheering. His office praised McConnell for doing the "right thing" and said, "Democrats hope this trend will continue."

If you've had enough of this, please make a contribution to the Senate Conservatives Fund so we can elect true conservatives to the U.S. Senate!

BAIT AND SWITCH

Americans voted to send more Republicans to Washington last year because they were promised that a new Republican majority in the Senate would stand up to President Obama and his agenda.

Senator McConnell vowed to repeal Obamacare root and branch, to use spending bills to defund bad policies, and to oppose any nominee for Attorney General who didn't oppose executive amnesty.

Of course they do. They have the support of the democrat base, plus the democrat-lite base.

That accounts for at least 75 votes - maybe more.

The Senate is the Elite, Royalty of the US, don’t you know.

Bow, Peons. Appreciate their care and concern for you.

Sorry, I forget exactly what the bill was on yesterday. I was studying during the Levin show. There were a dozen who joined Dems. I think it was one of the Iran votes.

How ? You wouldn’t get any Conservatives with that. You’d have even more leftist big gubmint looters from both parties with repeal.

I know that our Wisconsin Republican legislature would replace Ron Johnson after his Lynch vote, how doesn’t that help?
