Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday pushed back on protesters at a speech in Kentucky, declaring that "winners make policy and losers go home."
Speaking in Lawrenceburg, Ky., McConnell was met by nearly 1,000 protesters, some of whom chanted "No ban, no wall, Mitch McConnell take our call," the Associated Press reported.
He told local business leaders who attended his speech that the U.S. is an "open country where you can express your points of view as long as you do it peacefully."
"They had their shot in the election. ... But in this country when you win the election you get to make policy. I always remind people, winners make policy and losers go home."

Republicans have been winning the last six years. It’s time they start acting like winners.

The problem is that their “winning” is largely the result of a backlash against Obama. Its like winning by default. They don’t win as a result of performance, accomplishments or advancing an agenda.
The GOP is a pathetic bunch of losers. The very antithesis of everything that Donald J. Trump is and stands for.
