McConnell: 'Time To Move On'
thehill.com ^ | 07/28/17

Posted on 07/27/2017 11:41:10 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said "it is time to move on" in a floor speech early Friday after the stunning defeat of the GOP's scaled-down plan to repeal key parts of ObamaCare.

McConnell seemed close to choking up during brief remarks on the floor after falling short of his promise to repeal ObamaCare after three GOP senators voted against the "skinny" repeal bill.

McConnell called GOP efforts to repeal ObamaCare "the right thing for the country," despite their final efforts to push for repeal being unsuccessful.

Time for McConnell to “MOVE OUT” and “STAY OUT”.

He’s the GOPs greatest consecutive LOSER. Time to retire him to the turkey farm for he is the greatest GOP TURKEY of all time.

I think it is time for a NEW CONSERVATIVE PARTY, one with brains, balls, backbones, and honest, decent leadership.

What the hell am I smoking? (and I don’t even smoke).

I think McCain just wanted to spite Trump. Well, this is disappointing but it will put pressure on them not to be weak on tax reform.

You’ve posted the same silly comment on two threads.

Please, what in the world makes you think our POTUS would do something so juvenile and vile?

Grow up

“Move on”? No, Mitch, I suggest you target two of those RINOs, maybe all three, and pull them into your office. Find out how they want amend the bill.

This is the sausage making, Mitch. This is supposedly your forte. Do it old man.

And have some audio tape rolling under the desk. The American people voted for repeal. This is a hill to die on, Mitch. You have carrots and you have sticks. Use them.

What you posted bears repeating. What in old hell is wrong with McConnell and deal making? I guess he can’t play poker?

He’s hoping for government run health care insurance. That means healthcare rationing to the elderly and the disabled and those with preexisting conditions. What compassion.....

Dear Mitch,

Go to an upper floor of the Capitol building.
Find an open window.
(y’all guess the rest!)

After the first vote failure, then the 2nd, didn’t POTUS indicate that perhaps o’care should wither on the vine? It should. Very few understand that was designed to fail. And when it fails it will be stop gap measure after stop gap measure... and then perhaps realization will slip in with the fog.

Off the committees, NOW. Make them proudly put that D in front of their door and wear a scarlet O for the rest of their hopefully brief careers.

They successfully were able to surgically replace the batteries in his remote control implant above his eye. Pelosi still has the transmitter fob. He grimaces and eyes twist whenever she downloads a new order.

So every new “bill” is kabuki right? Have they even put out a straight repeal vote in 2017? It is telling that they don’t even try it now that the GOP controls everything and they did it in 2015 when Obama was in office. This tells me the GOP-e WANTS Obamacare, not for them but for us.

Healthshare programs are the way to go until sanity returns to Congress.

McConnell needs not to just resign his leadership post, but his Senate seat as well. If only McShame would join him.

Their corporate donors are pleased.

Their constituents can go screw.
