...Perhaps the people in Kentucky will see how much Mitch enabled and supported Trump. If Mitch loses his reelection in November along with Trump, that would really put the topping on the cake. Mitch would be taught a lesson that he could not imagine. He pays for Trump's incompetence. Mitch was/is a reason Trump had more power than a leader like Trump should have. Kentucky could teach everyone how awful Mitch is and always has been.

(12,541 posts)he can and will and has paralyzed government. Should the Democrats gain a Senate majority the first step is to eliminate the filibuster until they get the necessary legislation in place. The Repubics will howl, but we can't be concerned with what offends the anti American Republican Party.
After getting legislation passed the filibuster will go the way of the wooly mammoth.

(38,414 posts)...In some ways, far worse than Trump. Trump has excuses such as he is new to government, and doesn't know the system..etc.
...McConnell is not new, and uses the system to destroy our values, and feed his desires. He is experienced in ways that few understand. So when he sets out to prevent our ideas from becoming national law, he knows exactly what to do and how to do that. McConnell is not uses his experience to destroy ideas and laws that would help millions of people, and he has been doing that for many years. I think he "enjoys" stopping our ideas from becoming law. He is quoted early on in Obama's tenure, that he would do everything possible to make him a one term President. (and stop his legislation)..
...In some ways McConnell is worse than Trump. He does not appear as evil as Trump. His personality is reserved and somewhat proper. But his success at what he does is greater than Trump, and he is far more effective and knowledgeable at what he does..

(63,221 posts)I have donated to Amy McGrath a few times. I cannot understand how the people of Kentucky can be so stupid and brainwashed to continually keep sending Mitch back to Washington when he is doing nothing but fucking them and the rest of over time after time. I can't even say what I wish for his fate to be without getting banned from here forever.
