Mitch McConnell must not be Senate Majority Leader after the midterms

Mitch McConnell must not be Senate Majority Leader after the midterms
By Monica Showalter

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell declined to comment on the FBI raid of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during a press conference in Kentucky, following recent floods that hit the eastern part of his home state.

"I'm here to talk about the flood and recovery from the flood," McConnell said when asked about the raid.

Hours later, McConnell’s office released the following statement:

Quote
“The country deserves a thorough and immediate explanation of what led to the events of Monday. Attorney General Garland and the Department of Justice should already have provided answers to the American people and must do so immediately.”

This wasn’t the unequivocal condemnation that the FBI raid deserved. It was instead perfunctory act released after pressure from the MAGA wing of the GOP.

Clearly, McConnell despises Trump and the MAGA movement and would love to see all of it brought to an end so they can go back to business as usual, i.e., deceiving the public that there is a two-party system when it is actually only one that loyally serves and profits off the Washington Establishment.

Mitch has benefited from the Washington Establishment.

Ditching Mitch would require a demonstration of courage from nearly 30 of our Senate Republicans.  Unfortunately for us, 'courage' is in woefully short supply in the GOP ranks.

Unfortunately, you are correct, I fear.

Winner.  Mitch gets paid the same whether he is Majority Leader or Minority Leader.  But the Minority Leader position involves less than half the word.

This is the same Party that gave Obama even more than he asked for over the course of 6 years.  It's the same Party that continued to fund Planned Parenthood with taxpayer dollars when they had full control of both Houses and the White House.  This Party sucks.  I can see a million reasons not to vote for Democrats.  But I can't find a single reason to vote for a Republican.

I can't decide if Mitch is getting ready to retire or he's just a cranky old man and doesn't even care anymore, but either way his time has come and gone.

Having said that, Mitch McConnell is the reason why Merrick Garland is not a Supreme Court Justice, and we will always owe him for at least that much.

The reason Merrick Garland is not a Supreme Court Justice is because Obama was too lazy (and lacked the leadership ability) to fight for him.  If the Dems had put up a fight, Mitch would have folded.  But the Dems fully expected that Hillary would be the next President, so they left the seat open to her as a gift.

@Polly Ticks

Ask yourself this question.  Did Mitch McConnell believe that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election?

The little so called inflation reduction legistative debacle is all on this turtle SOB.

All he had to do, was invoke the cloture rules,.

Again....   this disaster is 100% on him.  He must go.

Inflation itself is on him too.  More money supply expansion has occurred under his leadership than any other Republican Senate leader in US history.

I am not granting him any kudos.  Any decent Majority Leader would have done this.   McConnell is worthless.  He is more of a problem to us than  our enemies.

McConnell was simply delaying the pick for Hillary.

I don't care if he did it because he was having period pains that day.  The point is that he DID do it, and that matters.

Again, I agree that Mitch has been squishy at best and needs to go. But considering how bad Garland is at his current position, I shudder to think of him with a lifetime appointment.

We just confirmed a radical actiivist justice who couldn't define what a woman was. 

I think that point is moot.

Not exactly. Imagine a court with both Jackson and Garland on it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that would be worse than what we've got now.

Again.  Turtle didn't exactly apply rocket science is withholding that last Obama nomination of Obama (Garland) Any and every GOP majority leader under those circumstances would have done the same. 

The more pressing issue, is how he is destroying us now.  What happened last Saturday did not have to happen, if this POS had done his job properly.

Look, I'm sick of him, too, and I vote for his opponent in the primaries. But saying what he did didn't matter because 'anybody would have done it' just seems petty.  He did do it, and I'll give him credit for that.
