Two and a half months before the midterms, McConnell was already downplaying victory.

Fire McConnell, McCarthy & McDaniel.

I’ve been saying for years that I hoped I’d live long enough to see Nancy P. gone from WDC. I hope and pray I live long enough to see McConnell gone, as well. Yes, I know. He’s been great on judges, but a disgustingly major disappointment on just about everything else.

In the summer of 2022, Mitch McConnell made a firm decision NOT to adopt any kind of national GOP strategy for the midterm election cycle.

That's why every fundraising appeal I got from the RNC and other national GOP organizations was focused on silly promises to "stop the Biden agenda" -- which was comical on its face because the GOP never put up a fight in the U.S. Senate and made sure the Democrats had all the votes to pass the major legislation they wanted.

Cocaine Mitch lost a very winnable seat here in NH when he cut all party funds to Don Bolduc who made it a point in the primary that he wouldn’t support him as Majority leader. Now we have Mad Maggie for another term.

How’s that foot wound Mitch

McConnell hoped for nothing for the kind.

McConnell works for DC and the wealthy urban donors that fund campaigns in the US.

He knows who his masters are & it isn’t people who are looking to reform the disastrous policies of the last 30 years.

McPOS is an obstacle, not an ally in the MAGA agenda.

McConnell needs to immediately step down.

He tried to sabotage the mid-terms.

The GOP in Congress was once led by strong leaders such as Joe Cannon, Nicholas Longworth and Robert A. Taft. It’s time to ditch the get-along-go-along types like McConnell and McCarthy.

He should, but he won’t.
He pulled the same crap in the 2018 Congressional Elections.

The next guy would be another McTurtle stooge, so I’m not sure it matters.

The DC machine likes continuity in their political-financial operation of destroying America.

No, no!

I’ve heard it here on FR...it was all Trump’s fault. Poor Mitch was just a pawn in the game and he did everything he could to help **cough...bui...bui..cough** sorry, I started throwing up in my mouth just typing this BS!

The GOPe got what they wanted...a chance to Dump Trump (just like they did with the Tea Party movement)! And the Freepers on here praising our enemedia’s narrative about Trump are the same ones who hated the Tea Party people!

None of them are Conservatives...but sadly, they seem to be the real republicans!

Great post.

The uniparty was out to diminish MAGA. They sabotaged our candidates. And since Tuesday they are trying complete their plan, trashing Trump, and trashing our MAGA issues.

Donā€™t fall for it.

McConnell sabotaged the Senate elections in AK, NH and AZ.

He blocked the red wave in the Senate.

He is at war with Conservatives, and he should be Trumpā€™s target.

We are suicidal idiots if we let him become Senate Leader.

I don't get it. There's still Laxalt, Masters and Walker in the fight.

We've got the House and a serious shot at the Senate.

What a bunch of pussies!

McConnell is a traitorous snake working for himself and China, not America’s best interests. He leaves a trail of slime wherever he goes. Why did you burden us with this piece of garbage again, Kentucky?

Turtle & the Rinos don’t want the responsibility of leading just the perks of kibitzing.
