"Think of me as the Grim Reaper": McConnell vows to thwart Democratic proposals
CBS News ^ | 22 Apr 2019 | Camilo Montoya-Galvez

Deriding the "Green New Deal" and "Medicare for All," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed to be Congress' "grim reaper" and thwart all progressive proposals on the Senate floor.

"If I'm still the majority leader of the Senate after next year, none of those things are going to pass the Senate," the Kentucky Republican told a small crowd during an event in his home state Monday. "They won't even be voted on. So think of me as the grim reaper: the guy who is going to make sure that socialism doesn't land on the president's desk."

Talk’s cheap when you’re speaking to a “small crowd in you home state”.

Don’t capitulate Mitch, or you’ll regret it.

Mitch is obstructing PDJT’s border policies. I’d sooner call him, The Unemployed Grim Reaper.

I would be happy if the Senate focused exclusively on confirmation of judges and executive branch people, and didn’t address any legislation.

You got balls Mitch?

You have talked the talk before Mitch.

Lets see if you walk the walk.

Mitt Romney, Murakowski and Susan Collins are your enemies.They would assassinate you if they could get away with it.All of them will sell out to the “progressives” ( dystopian liberal fascists) in a heart beat.

He is 77 years old.

Off the top of my head, I can’t recall any modern day Republican leader who got more Conservative with age.

Bottom Line - I’ll believe it when I see it.

“Well, well, well.... Mitch May have found his spine.”

The Turtle NEVER had a spine to begin with. He is a true creature of the D.C. Swamp. He will say whatever is required to get re-elected, and the revert to his cowardly ways.Term limits is the only answer to rid ourselves of these creatures, otherwise they stay in office forever.

Yeah Mitch...What was that you said about Obamacare if you gained Control of the Senate?

Something about ripping out roots and all.

Yet here we are...If it weren’t for the Administrations actions regarding the individual mandate it would still be full speed ahead to single payer.

Oh yeah, then there is the Border/Invasion.

I do give him credit for the Supreme Court process and other Judicial appointments. But he could speed it the hell up.
