Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) doesn’t think that the fight over the budget will lead to a government shutdown, asserting that if Democrats negotiate with President Donald Trump over his wall, neither party will have to shoulder the blame of a shutdown.


According to a Monday Wall Street Journal report, McConnell conceded that Democrats are “not irrelevant” due to their recently won House majority.

However, McConnell looked ahead to 2020 when he foresees an opportunity for Republicans to even further ingrain Senate gains with a favorable map and easy turnover opportunity in Sen. Doug Jones’ (D-AL) seat. McConnell euphemistically referred to the failed candidacy of Roy Moore, who was accused of sexually assaulting underage girls, “the Alabama mistake in 2017.”

1. Nice try to shift the blame to the Democrats Mitch but we all know its you and your parties fault

if the government shuts down.

[underpants]

2. Not irrelevant- FU. Mistake in Alabama? HE WON YOUR PRIMARY

Shut up a hole.

3. McTurdmouth

Two words, fuck yourself!

4. Shutdowns don't affect the rich, that's why he doesn''t care.

He doesn't care about the elderly, the military, people on welfare, disabled folks or anyone else who is not white and rich and who would be hurt.

5. McConnell FAILED in making Obama "a One Termed President"

He has not forgotten that and that is why he uses Senate Democrats as punching bags for his failures.

Democrats are poised to take back the Senate in 2020 and he knows that.. The cracks in his voice are signs he fears the writing on the wall. He has the majority for now, but his time has come.

[Just a Weirdo]

9. He may not even have that majority for long...

I expect massive amounts of Republicans resigning between now and the end of 2019, all thanks to Mueller. Hopefully he'll nail every one of the Trumplican Senators, forcing them to resign in disgrace.

11. Yes! n/t

[AllaN01Bear]

6. we dont need to negotiate . your party got us into this mess to begin with.

7. Do Not Negotiate With a Terrorist!

If Senator Schumer betrays US, we need to mount a challenge to his lack of leadership. imo

Of course, he does not represent my district.

[Just a Weirdo]

8. Uh. no, fuckwit, it's YOU that needs to talk to the Dems

In 2020, McDumbass should have zero power, and unable to overcome a nuclear option for the next Congressional session while they repair Republican damages.

[marble falls]

10. What a jackass. He doesn't want bipartisanship, he wants a capitulation. Screw him.

[Hassler]

12. McConartist is a Republican, expect the worst and you won't be disappointed.

[beachbum bob]

13. Lol, it's a GOP and trump problem..come 2020, it will be a democratic one.
