"I'm proud of what the new Republican majority has accomplished," McConnell said in the weekly Republican address to the nation Saturday.
Republican candidates like front-runner Donald Trump, not to mention Democrats, have consistently faulted the new majority.
"You look at what's going on with our budget process, it's a disaster," Trump said Friday of this week's budget deal. "It's a joke."
McConnell painted the Senate as newly efficient, a shot at the prior reign of Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., as majority leader.
"Many issues languished in the old Senate for years," McConnell said. 'Some were assumed to be too difficult for any Senate majority to address. But the Republican Senate … tackled each of them."
"And the President signed most into law," McConnell continued.

Is it possible for this man to be any more vapid? Making deals just to make deals and 'tackling issues' that are being pushed by the left wing agenda is an example of doing something?
