Dems told to adopt 'cutthroat' tactic — despite analyst admitting it's 'not good' for U.S.
Story by Matthew Chapman • 12h

Democrats need to look to how former Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) approached politics to find their voice against President-elect Donald Trump, columnist Ryan Teague Beckwith wrote for MSNBC.

"McConnell played American politics like a cutthroat game in which the only goal was to win the next election," wrote Beckwith Thursday.
 
"His laser focus on undermining the Democratic opposition was generally not good for the American public, and it didn't always work. But his efforts did prove that a party in the minority can come back from a devastating defeat by simply refusing to cooperate."

Infamously, McConnell told his party after former President Barack Obama was elected, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

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

Pelosi had the tact of a rusty chainsaw.  McConnell's weapons were a wink and a nod.
