Well he was wrong, but the people who actually re-elected McConnell were even more wrong. But, in defense of all of them, what do you do when someone who claims to be a conservative and is running on a conservative platform, just flat-out lies? He got away with it by claiming that they just needed the Senate majority to press ahead, that not having it was the bump in the road. That was the excuse for his record to that date, it was the excuse of all the incumbents. Then we have the ones who are running for their first win and have no record of being in office, some of those also just flat-out lied. What do you do against people who categorically state that they are conservatives, who categorically run on a conservative platform, get elected or re-elected, and then show, once the deed is done, that they were just unashamedly lying?

You don’t elect them. Moreover, you sure don’t elect lifelong liberals like Donald Trump who, during an election cycle, say what conservatives want to hear.

Yeah, his acceptance speech was all about conservative goals.

Ever notice how those who lie about what they believe in order to get elected never lie about how LIBERAL they are? Lots of 'em lie about being conservatives though. Tells you where the country REALLY is, in spite of a government against the people and a media propaganda juggernaut.
