WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was re-elected as Republican leader on Wednesday, defeating a challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida that reflects growing angst within the party after it underperformed in the midterm elections.

RE:Dang. I thought it was going to be at the Fotomat behind the abandoned Toys R Us.

Actually was planned for that place but they had to downsize to the smaller venue.

So, we overturned Roe v Wade. If every state votes to allow abortions, what difference did it make? It’s not about the law, it’s about winning hearts and minds so that the woman chooses life. It is clueless if you think 10 years from now there will be ANY state that had a full ban.

If the wall isn’t complete, then you might as well not have it

We had far more REAL conservatives under Reagan than now. And some of them were Dems.

Please save your sanctimony . . . LOL

He kept Fauci and Wray IN THEIR POSITIONS. Please remind me why he did that . . .

Keeping promises . . . ever hear of the Contract With America?

I certainly don’t trust him to name competent cabinet members, or FBI heads. He certainly failed at that.

Fighting deep state globalists? Give me three CONCRETE EXAMPLES, not mealy-mouthed crap. What did he do to punish NATO countries that failed to make their 2% obligation?

Did he de-classify and release documents he promised to do? Did he tell the Deep State to f*** off and pardon Assange and Snowden?

He never sent a warning shot across the bow. And the Deep State got even with the Mar-A-Lago raid.

Who are you trying to snow?

You poor thing.

You must live a miserable life, not able to find anything to be happy
about from arguably one of the best presidents we ever had.

Roe vs Wade was stricken down nationally. It allowed states
To set up their own rules. A number of states have made it much
harder to kill the unborn. You aren’t happy about that. LOL
Fewer unborn will be killed. Hello!

The wall went up around the largest population centers, and
problematic crossing points.

Today these people just walk in. The don’t have to go around the wall.

Here:

Maybe you will find a thing or two to be happy about.

Somehow I doubt it.

How do we put someone else in the position and have McConnell fired now?

I respect Reagan plenty. I went and passed by his casket when he laid in state
at the Reagan Library.

Remind me how many illegals Trump granted amnesty to.

It was wrong and it put me on the path to objecting illegal immigration ever since.

In his day roughly 8.00% of our population was Hispanic.

In 2020 it as 19.00%.

My Senator Hawley voted NO to McConnell and didn’t hide the fact.

I think this time for Trump could be spent making points and headlines..

All that is going on with biden and company... billions more to Ukraine and why. There has been talk biden was laundering money via Ukraine and it going back to the dems in congres. And is it pay back or blackmail.

I wish Trump would start talking about what he knows.. there is enough to sink that ship of fools. Everyone in Washington knows what is in the laptop...and it’s beyond words... Seems to me Trump could let the public know who they are and in time, lessen the attacks on him. I think it should be public .. there are treasonous acts in their records... If the public knew would it make any differene.

80 billion more when the citizens of the US are dealing with the economy and all they have done to the country.

Trump is taking the hits... i’d be for doing some hitting myself.

I agree with all you have written here.

Several topics and I think you’re right on point.

When it comes to Trump, I don’t always understand why he
does what he does. I think the guy has a lot more on the
ball than I do, and I’m willing to wait and see how he
plays it. I think he has access to information we don’t,
so that adds to it. And that’s not to give you a hard
time for mentioning things. I understand you.

IMO < he’s been too trusting in some of his RINO advisers.
Some of his appointments have been bad. I’m not sure
what advice he got, who gave a second or third affirmation
to the individual. He hasn’t been able to trust anyone,
and yet you have to.

None of understand how cutthroat Washington is, even for
the president.

This is why I don’t get President Trump deciding to run again as a Republican. GOP hates him, and Republican voters have had enough of the GOP. If ever a third-party candidate could win, it seems like it could be DJT. Presuming the big “if” of a transparent, fair election. But I fear those days are an artifact of history.

I wonder what it’s like for Mitchell when he wakes up every day to realize that approximately 80 million people hate his guts!

I’ve got a few “enemies” (from 50 years of business) but not 80 million!

Not for nothing, but Rick Scott put up, what I would call, a very feeble attempt to take on McConnell. First he put out a GOP agenda, without any real visible support from his Senate colleagues, then he implied he would take on McConnell, then he said he supported McConnell, then within 24 hrs he said he would challenge McConnell. Sounds like he didn’t mount much of a public campaign to force undecideds to go his way, and at the same time, he didn’t appear to engage in much private campaigning inside the ‘Club’. All he needed was another 15 votes, but in the age of ‘Big Money’ it looks like 80% of the Senate Republicans are already bought and paid for by the ‘Big Money’ donors.

I’m tired of losing and Trump attacked.
Disturbing their quest for control..
We have a retarded public to vote for the open border, prices high, everything out of control.

Grab hold of sanity this is watching the dumb of society destroy it all.

Don’t let it get you down. Do what you can and put the
rest in the hands of the Lord.

Most of us have been pretty upset ourselves.

We should find out who advised Trump to make those picks. Who vetted them?

DoughtyOne,

After reading your post#64 to "LRoggy" I think you already realize you're talking to one of the DIM-BULB DUMBA$$ES that inhabit FR.
