Of course the mealy-mouthed, spineless wimp of a liberal will allow the phony president to do whatever his black heart desires!

Voters in Kentucky have made a mistake that affects all Americans.

There is a mechanism to recall his worthless azz.

Wow, what a non-surprise. I see the Republicans approving Obaba’s “moderate” nominee so they can claim the nominee would be worse if they waited until after the election. If the Republicans want to see a Senate bloodbath just let them approve the nominee before the election.

Trump backed McConnell in that primary challenge. He has a part in this, too.

The coward will.

This is a hill worthy of dying on, but Mitch and the other spineless establishment Republicans in name only will cut and run.

It is because he isn’t a conservative. They are drawing a line in the sand should Trump become president.

Well heck yeah. That’s why “we” (s)elected enough pubs in the last (s)election so they could protect conservative values and issues. Doesn’t seem to be working out too well.

McConnell isn’t spineless. Look how fast the Senate slammed through their Obamacare exemption after being busted. McConnell is a careerist pig and has no interest in representing Main Street. A generation ago he would have been a Democrat and he doesn’t give a flip about having a conservative SCOTUS. Once you understand that everything falls into place.

Bevin taking out McConnell would have sent a message. That was thwarted by the GOPe with Trump’s help.

When Cruz and Rubio are eventually knocked out of the presidential race they can thank the ineptitude and cowardice of McConnell and the GOP leadership for it. This is why the Republican electorate is in rebellion against the elected representatives of their party.

“Do you believe anything a staffer for Hairy Reed says”

Faster than I believe anything a RINO says.

What? Did someone catch McConnell bending over a page?

Hanging out down by the statue late at night?

Someone have some 'dirt' on him?

He should either perform his job or resign.

Why are any of you putting any stock in anything that a Hairy Reed staffer says?

Is everyone here this ‘Stump Stupid’?

Of course he will.

Has there ever been accountability in the DC?

Has there ever been a GOP in power in
Congress who did not lie?

who did not help the Tyranny?

no. no. and no.

Rubio, I can see. Cruz has spent a lot of time bucking the GOPe, and that is why he isn't so popular.

It's pretty stupid to throw him out with the people he has been fighting against.
