Tucker Carlson
@TuckerCarlson

What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your senator and demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don’t let McConnell get away with it again.

Mitch McConnell’s Secret ‘Coup’ to Derail Trump’s Plans and Install a RINO Senate Majority Leader
By Pamela Geller - on November 10, 2024
 
Rick Scott is the only contender of the three Senators running that will work with Trump to get it done. We need a MAGA Senate Majority Leader. The idea that we would go with a RINO, a spineless, gutless Republican is unacceptable. Can not happen.

The people want Scott which is why the scoundrel Mitch McConnell’ wants a secret ballot. “Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” Louis Brandeis
 

Mitch McConnell Dumped Millions into Trump-Hating Loser Larry Hogan Who Lost by 10% but Not a Penny to Kari Lake’s Close Race

By: Placebreak, November 10, 2024:

McConnell announced earlier this year that he plans to step down from his leadership role, but instead of waiting for the new Senate class to take their seats, he’s fast-tracked a secret ballot vote for next week. It’s a classic McConnell move—playing procedural games to shore up his establishment allies. Carlson didn’t mince words, labeling the maneuver a “coup” against Trump’s agenda in a fiery post on X (formerly Twitter). “What the hell is going on in the US Senate?” Carlson wrote. “Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the Senate.”



The two main contenders for the GOP leadership post, John Thune (R-SD) and John Cornyn (R-TX), are establishment figures with a history of bucking Trump’s populist policies. Thune is seen as McConnell’s preferred successor, while Cornyn’s voting record includes support for gun control measures and anti-Trump rhetoric that rankles the party’s conservative base. Carlson blasted Cornyn as “an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s,” making it clear where he stands on the Texas senator’s bid for leadership.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Step down from his leadership role?  Hell, he needs to be booted out of the Senate and if his colleagues are wise they will see VOTERS aren't tolerating those political schlock moves right now. **nononono*





SEND HIM PACKING AT THE NEXT PRIMARY!!

The Establishment Loyalists don't care what the public thinks, or wants. All they know is retaining power.

The Pubs will lose their control of the Senate and House in 2026 if they don't get behind Trump. The Pubs almost lost the House because they don't fight.
We have a beach head. Now it's time to win the war and save the Republic.

I'm not so sure about that. It could be that many RINOS are replaced in 2026 primaries. That happened big time in Texas this year and both the house and senate here got even more red.
