Wake Up—Mitch and Paul!
Townhall, Aug 21, 2017, Katie Kieffer



Waiter! Bring ice water! We need to wake up our lethargic congressional leaders, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Paul Ryan. Because when they snooze, America loses.

How do these two knuckleheads keep getting elected? It might be better if we had elected two La-Z-Boy armchairs to office. Neutrality is better than betrayal.

“It's very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President,” Trump recently tweeted.

Sad indeed. We voted for Trump, and Republican legislators who were up for election in 2016, because we trusted their commitment to three simple promises: 1.) secure our country; 2.) reform healthcare; and 3.) revitalize the economy.

So far, Republicans are 0 for 3 on delivery. President Trump tees them up, and they whiff. On purpose. Every single time.

Wayne Gretzky is one of the greatest athletes of all time—but never won the Stanley Cup without a team. Likewise, the President of the United States is the world’s most powerful politician, but he can’t score a legislative hat trick if no one’s there to guard the net or pass him the puck.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Sen. McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Ryan is the House Speaker. These two men have the power to corral their fellow Republicans in support of President Trump’s agenda—or they can sit back and twiddle their thumbs and watch the Press, Democrats and George-Soros’ professional protestors sic on Trump. Like a pack of mad dogs.

Here are three examples of how Republicans have helped Democrats more than President Trump so far this year: Republicans allowed multiple health care reform bills to die; placed sanctions on Russia for supposedly interfering with our election process (despite Trump’s request to drop the sanctions as he sought to strengthen diplomatic ties with Russia); and empowered a bipartisan investigation into the Trump family’s so-called collusion with Russia.

This has to stop.

Instead of Republican leadership in DC, we are beset with Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and the Mad Tweeter.

It seems that people are all too happy to congratulate themselves for voting for Trump because Hillary was so much worse, while simultaneously condemning Mitch's reelection.   Would they have preferred to have Alison Lundergan Grimes?  What happened to voting for the candidate you have rather than the candidate you wanted?

@Polly Ticks  We want the leader of the Senate to do his job.  We want the leader of the Senate to work with, not against our Republican president.

I don't understand how the point of your post fits this discussion.

Agreed...those three should be working together. Trump's current method of attacking all who disagree with him is counterproductive, except to his base, who think he can do no wrong.

McConnell and Ryan support the Statist Oligarchy, the seat at theDemocrat table and feathering their own nests.

They and their party have no interest in their oaths of office or the ideal of limited government.

Those of you who would tell them to do their jobs, will likely be told to sit down, shut up or get punched in the nose.

It's past time for another party for Conservatives.  The GOP has repeatedly told Conservatives to shut up or get out in both word and deed.

To be fair, Trump's supporters have told us we're not needed, as well.
