Mitch McConnell Confident GOP Senators Will Reelect Him as Leader
Breitbart ^ | 11/15/2022 | Wendell Husebo

Posted on 11/15/2022 8:00:39 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday said he is confident Republican senators will reelect him as GOP Senate leader on Wednesday after failing to reclaim the Senate from Democrats.

“Of course,” McConnell responded to Capitol Hill reporters.

McConnell only needs a simple majority of the Republican conference votes to remain the GOP leader. The vote will take place by secret ballot and behind closed doors. No Republican appears to be challenging McConnell.

He has the dirt on many senatewhores, I believe. I can’t prove it, though.

The GOP establishment placed the midterm blame on Donald Trump
<><>not Mitch McConnell’s $10m to the treacherous Murkowski, rather than in Az, Ga, or Mi.
<><>Not Kevin McCarthy’s embarrassing “Commitment to America” attempt to recreate the 54 “Contract with America” win,
<><>Not McConnell’s Aug derision of MAGA candidates,
<><>Not mcConnell’s claiming the party lacked “candidate quality,”
<><>Not McConnell’s handpicked Co candidate losing by 13 points, 3 times as much as Oz lost.

No, it was Trump.

GOP’s under-performance in the midterms is “100%” Trump’s fault they say.
Of course, there’s no stink on D.C. Republicans —
<><> not Kevin McCarthy, not Mitch McConnell, not Ronna McDaniel,
<><>not Tom Emmer (chairman, RNCC),
<><>not GOP consultants and pollsters…
<><>Nor on any Republican who hangs out at the Capitol Hill Club.

I’m also confident GOP Senators will elect McConnell, that’s why Trump is out last, best chance at MAGA. And if he doesn’t get elected for a 3rd time, maybe it would be a good thing if he leaves the Republican Party as an old husk, an empty suit, a smoldering pile of poop.

In the big league you get fired if you can’t win.

“McConnell only needs a simple majority of the Republicans”

Well, that shouldn’t be hard…….the majority of Senate Republicans ARE simple.

McConnell actively worked against his own party’s candidates in the general election, he needs to go

I am confident he will win as well, likely in the range of a 900-1000 of the members voting for him. /sarcasm

I think McConnel is a symbolic poster child of the GOPe: a turtle that hide in its shell.

He will be re-elected as operator. He is not a leader.

At this point, if any entity associated w McConnell McCarthy or any of the sycophants that stand with them at their podiums, receives one penny in campaign donations, whoever that person is, is an EFIN’ IDIOT.

I’m not talking about some business owner donating for a favor.

I’m talking about the individual who takes their personal money and gives it to these scumbags. That is, unless the person donating is happy with how things are going.

I’ve been waiting for McConnell to be ousted from his leadership position in the ranks of the Pubbies for many, many years. I don’t hold my breath. I will surprised if they have the balls to remove him.

What should our capital, the “peoples house” as they are so fond of calling it, remind us of?

Matthew 21

12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.

13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

Not trying to pick a fight. But what writing on the wall?

The folks in DC love him. RINOs in state government wish they were him.

And at the end of they, the elections in 2020 & 2022, were stolen. Can’t deny any of that. Anyone who does is part of the problem. And the law changes in Florida prove that.

I gave the ‘writing on the wall’ at the very end of what I said: RETIRE ALREADY!

Turtle isn’t going anywhere. The votes he needs have already been bought with favors/trades/committee chairs, etc. long before now.

Then I am confident I will not vote for another Republican. I am pretty sure I am done with all the idiots in the Republican party, just as much as I am done with all the evil people in the Democrat party!

I will just stick to voting for Libertarians until the Republicans correct their course! I’m done!

Odd isn’t it.

That old. Have money. Don’t have to worry about anything. Will still have access to all the inside information and he still sticks around.

Something very odd about all of that.

Well, the majority of Republicans in the Senate except for Hawley, Cruz, Tuberville, Marshall, Kennedy, and Hyde-Smith voted to accept fraudulent electors on January 6th, why wouldn’t they vote to keep a fraud like McConnell their Speaker?

He and Nancy Pelosi are exactly the same. Both corrupt. Both could care less about this country. Both interested in only their own slimy fingers on some lever of power.

Well, it won’t last forever for them. By what method, that cannot be predicted, but it won’t last.

Too bad “we the people” can’t vote in that election, too!
