“I agree. What difference did it make to own the House and Senate.”

None whatsover:

Government has grown, spending is still out of control, taxes have gone up.

“What exactly did Mitch do the past couple of years...”

He SAID he was going to oppose Obama, but he could only do that if the republicans took the senate.

After the republicans took the senate, he said “we can’t oppose Obama”

He and the rest of them are useless.

Well, Turtle, since you ceded the majority to the minority, I can’t imagine why!

Johnny never met a public office he didn’t want to run for. He’s a former realtor or something. Never was worth a damn, never will be. He even has Parkinson’s disease and he won’t retire even now. Free payday, no work.

Because of the feckless and pusilanimous "leadership" of the bought-and-paid-for lickspittle GOPe quislings.

Look at it this way, Mitch: you did absolutely nothing to win the majority in the first place. Easy come, easy go.

Compound the loss of the
Senate with the probability
of Herself gaining enough
voting power through fraud
to tip the Electoral
College to her favor, and
kiss the Second Amendment
good-bye for at least two
generations.

It is as if the Establishment
Republicans WANT to lose.

What’s that Mitch? Your corporate donors can’t bail you out this time?

Such a shame.

Maybe if you weren’t such a fugazi conservative.

Mitch McConnell: Republicans May Lose Senate Majority...

Ah, so the senile old coot does at least realize he was the majority leader.

Then why didn't he act like it?

Essentially the Democrats never lost control of the Senate, and this ass-hat is the reason why.

Trouble is, Lee at the top is the worst anti-Trump creep out there.

Oh those were Republicans? Sure didn’t act like it. They have as much spine as a jellyfish.

In life as in poker, winners win and losers loseI

Mitchie, R Kentucky had his chance 2014-2016 and he blew it.

Second chances are hard to come by when you fail with the first.

To: Democrats hate too much

Of course it does! We haven’t donated in over ten years because the money goes to the likes of McCain and Graham.
