Phil1111 1,149 #4 November 15, 2018 Ok, its time all you guys stop mincing words. To let us all know how you really feel! Mitch McConnell’s record-breaking reign https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/31/mitch-mconnell-senate-republicans-dole-611587 He is merely the point man for the republican party. Now the trump tribe. " as with the past six leadership elections, McConnell is expected to face no opposition if and when he pursues years 13 and 14 as GOP leader. “I’m proud of the fact that I’ve enjoyed the confidence of my members,” McConnell said in an interview. “And I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been reelected without opposition.” When the Tea Party contingent wanted the budget under the bus. He brought them back in the fold. "“There’s a reason Mitch is the longest-serving Republican leader: He understands and well-represents his caucus,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). “He knows how to fight, and he knows how to cooperate.”... McConnell relies on grinding out results to keep his party moving forward: confirmations of nominees, spending deals and political meddling in individual Senate races aimed at keeping Republicans in power. He’ll work out nomination deals with Schumer that get little attention but achieve far more than keeping the Senate in session continuously just to steamroll Democrats. “The two best qualities to have in this job is to have a thick hide and to be a good listener, because what I’m always doing is trying to get as much consensus as I can and try to achieve as much as what we can,” McConnell says of his mind-set. “Those who prefer perfection typically are people on the outside who are always thinking, unlike Ronald Reagan, that 80 percent is not enough.” I'm not defending or endorsing him. He is merely the manifestation of effective republican ideology. Leadership that the democrats need now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 2,260 #5 November 15, 2018 ryoder I will only be happy when I see that motherfucker impeached for refusing to do his job in bringing a vote on Merrick Garland. Never happen. But what will happen is that the new level of hardball he brought to the Senate will be used by the other party one day. Maybe as soon as 2021.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
