JUST IN: Trump Rips McConnell To Shreds In New Statement
https://populist.press/trump-rips-mcconnell-to-shreds-in-new-statement/ ^ | 2/16/21 | TRUMP

Posted on 02/16/2021 2:18:56 PM PST by spacejunkie2001

Former President Donald Trump issued a lengthy statement attacking U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R‑KY) on Tuesday:

The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political “leaders” like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm. McConnell’s dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse. The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle—they’ve never had it so good—and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell’s Beltway First agenda or Biden’s America Last.

In 2020, I received the most votes of any sitting President in history, almost 75,000,000. Every incumbent House Republican won for the first time in decades, and we flipped 15 seats, almost costing Nancy Pelosi her job. Republicans won majorities in at least 59 of the 98 partisan legislative chambers, and the Democrats failed to flip a single legislative chamber from red to blue. And in “Mitch’s Senate,” over the last two election cycles, I single-handedly saved at least 12 Senate seats, more than eight in the 2020 cycle alone—and then came the Georgia disaster, where we should have won both U.S. Senate seats, but McConnell matched the Democrat offer of $2,000 stimulus checks with $600. How does that work? It became the Democrats’ principal advertisement, and a big winner for them it was. McConnell then put himself, one of the most unpopular politicians in the United States, into the advertisements. Many Republicans in Georgia voted Democrat, or just didn’t vote, because of their anguish at their inept Governor, Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Republican Party, for not doing its job on Election Integrity during the 2020 Presidential race.

It was a complete election disaster in Georgia, and certain other swing states. McConnell did nothing, and will never do what needs to be done in order to secure a fair and just electoral system into the future. He doesn’t have what it takes, never did, and never will.

My only regret is that McConnell “begged” for my strong support and endorsement before the great people of Kentucky in the 2020 election, and I gave it to him. He went from one point down to 20 points up, and won. How quickly he forgets. Without my endorsement, McConnell would have lost, and lost badly. Now, his numbers are lower than ever before, he is destroying the Republican side of the Senate, and in so doing, seriously hurting our Country.

Likewise, McConnell has no credibility on China because of his family’s substantial Chinese business holdings. He does nothing on this tremendous economic and military threat.

Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership.

Prior to the pandemic, we produced the greatest economy and jobs numbers in the history of our Country, and likewise, our economic recovery after Covid was the best in the world. We cut taxes and regulations, rebuilt our military, took care of our Vets, became energy independent, built the wall and stopped the massive inflow of illegals into our Country, and so much more. And now, illegals are pouring in, pipelines are being stopped, taxes will be going up, and we will no longer be energy independent.

This is a big moment for our country, and we cannot let it pass by using third rate “leaders” to dictate our future!

I think Trump needs to break off NOW, and begin a full-time aggressive push, right now, to replace the GOP.

It is an old, tired party.

Start from the ground up.

And, start right now.

Exactly right. Trump, today, has a knife at the throat of the Uniparty (R). With one press release announcing the MAGA Party Trump will have destroyed the GOP. Trump should call the Uniparty (R) wheels together and demand the total destruction of Sasse, Romney, Collins, all seven, I think. Otherwise, Trump takes his war chest, money machine and 90% support to MAGA. It has been Uniparty (R/D) vs MAGA since 2015. Unfortunately MAGA’s champion has fought with two Republican hands tied behind his back.

No, but you seem quite delusional -- is that intentional?

hardspunned: "Trump has the support of 90% of rank and file conservatives but has no way to flex it while confined in the Uniparty (R).
He should take the 90% support, start a new party and swing that support like a walking tall club when he gets back to Sh!thole D.C."

The last Trump-like populist president we had was Teddy Roosevelt, who declared war on Republicans in 1912, split them apart and elected Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
Today Republican Trump has something like 90% support among Republicans, but if he splits the party to start a third party, he will not get all 90% and communist-Democrats will be the beneficiaries.

What Trump needs to do is take A-holes like Mitch to the political woodshed and give them a whuppin' they'll never forget.
If Mitch gets removed as leader, the Republicans come back strong in 2022.
There's no other way.

First, you only have to post your idiotic claim once not twice

Second, you provide zero case, only spout democrat talking points. Take your BS back to Huff Post where your inane comments will be saluted by other idiot leftists

All of our conservative leaders are on Telegram. Do a search for Donald J Trump and then join channel. I’ll post a link to the directory when I get on my computer.

You have about the same chance to fix the Republican Party as you do rehabilitating Manson and his family.

Few people know how to “bitch slap’ like Trump.

Biden has taken on Elon Musk, and Musk will hand Biden a huge loss.

"You have about the same chance to fix the Republican Party as you do rehabilitating Manson and his family."

The fact is that McConnell votes conservative about 2/3 of the time, Liz Cheney about 60%.
In the House about 20% of Republicans are more "moderate" than Cheney, in the Senate about 10% are more "moderate" than McConnell.

In both Houses, arguably, no Democrats vote more conservative than even the most "moderate" Republican, since all Democrats vote for their Leftist leaders who set Congress's agenda.
That act alone outweighs any conservative votes a very small number of Democrats later cast.

So, because some Republicans vote less than 100% conservative, you're going to destroy the party and replace them with communist-Democrats?

Like I said, that can only possibly make sense to an America-hating, secession loving Southern Democrat.

Not buying it.

It’s mostly a phone app. I don’t remember if I accepted all of those requirements or not but I probably did. It’s actually a messaging app that you can use like other messaging apps but it also has “channels” that people like Trump have started and you subscribe or join their channels. It won’t do anything with your contacts if all you do is read the posts on their “channels” and post replies. I trust this more than I do Twitter, FB, Parler, Gab, and other social media apps. If President Trump and the other conservatives that have channels on it trust the program, I do too. Everybody we followed on Twitter and Facebook are on this now. Now that I have been on it for a while I really like it.

McConnell is the leader of the Controlled Opposition. He’s the leader because he’s good at it.

When you look at the GOP as Controlled Opposition, everything they do makes sense. All of it.
