Empirical Vote Data Shows Democrats Still Control US Senate, Harry Reid’s Office Rejoices

Senate Democrats still control the U.S. Senate, election results last November aside, an analysis of all the votes taken since Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took over as Majority Leader shows. In fact, with two minor exceptions, every single vote that has passed the U.S. Senate since the beginning of this Congress in January has passed with at least—usually more than—93 percent of support from Democrats. “While Republicans have done nothing to create jobs and help the middle class, on other topics like passing clean funding for Homeland Security and confirming Loretta Lynch, Senator McConnell has done the right thing by bringing bills and nominations to the floor that Democrats can support,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s spokesman Adam Jentleson told Breitbart News. “Democrats hope this trend will continue.” Since January, according to the U.S. Senate vote count website, there have been 10 nominations confirmed. Each one has seen unanimous support from Democrats who voted, but varying levels of Republican support. Seven nominations—George C. Hanks, Jr., to be a U.S. district Judge for the Southern District of Texas, Alfred H. Bennett to be a U.S....

The truth of the useless rino Congress in DC is getting out to those of us no longer represented in DC by our evil and stupid rino-liberal dirtball Congresscritters who hate us as much as the communist dirtballs they love.

This will be the first election I will sit out unless a conservative is chosen to represent the now worthless GOP DC dirtballs and scum suckers that love them.

May there be a third party conservative rebellion against the left communists and the liberal-rino GOP.

You didn’t really think that Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell would come out of his shell and oppose his fellow progressives, did you?

The way the GOPe stole the MS Senate win from the conservatives and paid Black Democrats to vote for Thad Cochran, a closet Democrat in Republican clothing, told conservatives how far the party leadership was willing to go to keep McConnell in place.

He is doing a fine job running the new progressive majority in the Senate. Hillary can’t wait to work with her buddy, Mitch.

We had another seat in Mississippi to replace Cokran with McDaniel , a real conservative who was defeated by paying black democrats who had voted in the Democratic primary to illegally vote in the republican run off. That was instigated and paid for by Karl Rove, John Cornyn ( head of the republicrat Senate campaign) and Haley Barbour. $15 per vote!! Much of ot paid by tour contributions to the “republican party” over 6000 illegag voting saboteurs promoted by the “establishment. Don’t ever forget.

Shame on Mitch, shame on Flake and all the republicans that keep betraying their oath to defend the Constitution and voters who placed their confidence on them.

This is just like the George “Dubya” Bush days when the republican majority let the democrat minority push them around like rented mules.

I seem to remember one of the main refrains from the vote-for-the-R crowd was Republicans would stop Obama’s radical judicial appointments. I guess they were wrong on that too. I hope they are waking up.

There was a lot of 'just vote (R)' going on around here. Stupid liberal (R). I won't vote for a liberal even a republican liberal. And I'm pretty tired of them shilling here.

They've already given up on me. I can't remember the last junk phone call or mail I've gotten from them.

Senate Democrats still control the U.S. Senate...

If ten R's vote with all the D's when the will of the people is on the line, then the D's still control the Senate.

I’d like to hear McConnell explain how dispute having a 54 seat majority the democrats have won all but 2 votes in his own senate.

He does understand that to win a race is to come in first not last does he not?

McConnell got a taste of Majority Leadership and decides it is hard work.

The Republican leadership in both chambers have shown little capacity for real leadership. They are failing as badly as the Hastert-Frist-Lott in early part of this century.

Republican leadership tends to be of the fold-and-capitulate variety. They can’t compromise fast enough. Heck both McConnell and Boehner were compromising with the White House even before the January 2015 Congressional session began.

Look for the Senate to return to Dem control in January 2017.

Look for the House to return to Dem control in January 2019.
