From a former Republican Senate majority leader to an incoming one, Trent Lott has this advice for Mitch McConnell: Deal “sternly” with renegade conservatives and quickly “coopt” new GOP senators so they don’t drift over to the obstructionist side of the party.

Trent Lott is a real piece of work. How can there not be a 3rd Party when the movement to kick out conservatives from the GOP grows stronger and stronger with each passing election. Isn't it time to abandon the GOP and all it House Members who continually elect John Boehner as Speaker?

Sending messages to DC is tough. Probably going to take another few elections where more of the ruling class is put out.

Lott has been looking in the mirror for too long again.

He actually began to believe that he still matters.

"His advice was dittoed by another former senator and majority leader, Democrat Tom Daschle of South Dakota."

THAT is deeply troubling....

Wow....I’d have thought that a soldier injured as badly as Bob Dole was would have more respect for differing same-side opinion than that. To me, this blather is no better than the insane rantings and actions than that maniac John McCain. Color me sorry I ever even voted for this buttwipe.

I wish the GOP-E would deal as sternly with the ‘rats as they do with conservative republicans once in a while. We really need another party.

But Lisa Murkowski, etc. always voting with the democrats, no comeuppance for them whatsoever. Only conservatives are to be treated harshly.

He mattered? I remember him for 3 things:
1. He was a spineless country club republican politician who caved in on everything
2. He had perfect hair
3. He praised Strom Thurmond

That’s about it.

Problem is the Turtle and Boner agree with him.

The American people are about to be Grubered the GOP way....

I think he’s confused obstructionist with constitutionalist.
