Mitch McConnell is 80 years old. His current term ends in 2027. I’m assuming that he will probably retire in 2027. There’s no doubt that he’ll be twisting the knife in our backs for those remaining four years. John McCain did the same thing. That’s what RINOs do.

Why then did he appoint so many swamp creatures to important positions? Pence, Allen, Bolton, Tilden, Wray, Sessions, Barr, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Milley and others. One isn’t going to fight the swamp when do that.

He talked a good game, but once in power, he acted just like every other politician.

This is a very untruthful statement.

Secret ballot I believe. And before the new senators are even decided. The deep state always maintains control. It sounds like we are about to have a RINO congress anyways.

The ten should say, “Look, our constituents sent us here to make things
better. You have prevented us from doing that. Give us a call when you
feel like being competitive again.”

I wonder how many of that ten are new people to the Senate.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll develop a brain tumor like McCain did.

If Trump wins in 2924 we will lose Congress then or in 2026 since the GOPe is clueless.

Trump 1) Kept his promises more than any other politicians, including Reagan 2) loves the country and puts it above the ambitions of globalists and 3) has and is fighting all the right enemies (the GOP establishment, Deep State, globalists).

It doesn't matter if he's perfect. He someone that can totally be trusted to fight the fight that must be fought.

Secret ballot and McTurtle counted the votes.

Please remind me what other president appointed SCOTUS justices
that would overturn Roe vs Wade.

Please remind me what other president installed 450 miles of wall
along some of the worst sectors along our border.

Please remind me what other president spent so much time and
effort trying to replace RINOs with more Conservative people,
after he was removed from office.

Trump proved that RINOs aren't just stupid, but mostly corrupt.

“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reportedly said Wednesday that what he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have said about the future of the Republican Party is “remarkably similar.”

Schumer and McTurtle will work closely together in their common goal in the total destruction of the Republican Party.

We gave it a go. First time anyone’s challenged him. He won’t win it again.

And they got some concessions, from what I hear. First time for that, too. We’ll see if it made a difference...doubt it, but he’s on notice now.

Better than laying back with our legs in the air, as some here seem to want. Or even worse, the “Told ya so!” crowd of whiners.
