Mitch Stepping Down

[KG1]

 

[Ingomike]

Something is up. There are just too many establishment freaks suddenly stepping down at once.

Not at once, but one of the highest profile. Over 100 republican house members have have left the house rather than be America First. A Trump just took over the RNC and a few days ago and the minority leader in the senate steps down. Hmmmmm…

Maybe the swamp just isn't as fun as it used to be.

I mean, I get I'm supposed to hate him and call him a RINO now days, by the guy was the architect of a SCOTUS majority most of us could only dream of.

House Freedom Caucus Calls on Mitch McConnell to Immediately Step Down from Leadership and Not Screw Republicans in Upcoming Election Like Paul Ryan Did | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

Paul Ryan never liked Donald Trump.

“McConnell has served as GOP leader since 2007 after serving as party whip since 2003, at which time the U.S. national debt stood at $6.783 trillion. As of Wednesday, that figure stood at $34.405 trillion.”

"[T]he turtle he announced today he's retiring, at least stepping down from his leadership role in the Senate in November. He leaves an extraordinary legacy. I want you to remember this, because when he came to power in 2003, as Senate Majority Whip, he was billed as a fiscal conservative," Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon said on the "Just the News, No Noise" program.”

Mitch McConnell's legacy: $27.6 trillion in national debt

McConnell has served as GOP leader since 2007 after serving as party whip since 2003.

My vote for the turtles replacement is Rand Paul

Heard that John Cornyn is going to try and step up. I knew it would wind up being a step into another pile of dogcrap **** show event. How about Ted Cruz or Mike Lee, no they aren't swampy enough.

Dem governor appoints replacement?

He is stepping down from his leadership role. He is not resigning from the Senate.

 

[foszoe]

He is stepping down from his leadership role. He is not resigning from the Senate.

Thank you for the correction

Do you really think the turtle will sit on the back bench of the senate for three years after having been the man? That is about as likely as 100 degrees tomorrow…

You can make the trains run on time but the people still might not forgive your sins

I suspect that he is going to use what political capital he has to install a "suitable" replacement to head the Senate GOP, then act as a mentor and guide his replacement down the "proper" path. Remember, Obama may not be President, but he controls the White House. Mitch will not be without power - particularly if his replacement owes his position to him. He will just be working behind the curtain.

I will be surprised if he is alive and capable of serving in three years. He is not doing well

It is getting so bad in DC they could have exclusive parties just for the weekend at Bernie’s crowd…

You know that feeling you get when you are sitting on the beach about 10' from the water, and you see the water rushing out to sea, and suddenly you are now a hundred yards from the water's edge but you dont quite understand where the ocean is going? thats kinda how I'm starting to feel right now.

What is the next shoe to drop?

Soooo, I'm not the only one...

Better in what way?

His voting record. It's not great, but he ranks above Young (and McCain's historical record) both by "freedom index" and "conservative index". It's also far better than any Democrat. I'm not exactly singing the praises of Mitch McConnell, but am accurately pointing out that there are much worse. McConnell is certainly a "moderate", but are still several more liberal "Republicans". And while I don't particularly love RINOs, they are still a paradigm of virtue compared to any Democrat. There is a wide gulf between "not very good" and "absolutely terrible".

Is that the same treasonous John Cornyn who voted for gun control at the time Bruen was being decided. Perfect. Another reason for term limits. Get these worthless dinosaurs out. I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher.
